phobia pt. 1

I went online to see the different types of phobias out there. Well i got about fifteen pages of phobias all from A-X (there are no phobias starting with Y or Z according to this list.) Some of them seem silly, like the fear of trees? Dendrophobia. Or what about the fear of puppets? Pupaphobia. (Actually one of our LOYC teens hates Kermit the Frog with a passion.)

2 Corinthians 4.18
18So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Fear deals with ignorance, false pretensions. When you focus on what you can see instead of what you know to be true.

Hebrews 12:2
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Fear comes when we stop looking to God and start looking at the situation around us.
Fear is the opposite of Faith.

Just like being afraid of beautiful women or being afraid of glass may seem ridiculous, being fearful of our situations is not right. If we trust GOD and His word.

Truth University: Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him.
