Thursday's Thoughts: Living With Fear

When I was a young minister's wife and new mother, I suffered from
  a serious case of low self-image and overcautiousness.  Perhaps, more
accurately, I could have been called fearful and anxious. It was very
difficult for me to speak to a group of more than seven or eight ladies.

When asked to speak, I would often hide behind my husband's ministerial cloak
  and say that he was the speaker and I was his "helpmeet".  Mainly because I
 was fearful that I would make a mistake and not be accepted by my listeners,
I would refuse an invitation to speak to adults. I was only comfortable working
with children in church school and in the music department of our church.
 
In my heart I admired those who were poised in public and could speak articulately,
and often I longed to be able to do so myself. But the more I thought about it, the
greater my fear. This anxiety affected other areas of my life as well. I knew that
sooner or later I would have to face this fear head-on. After seventeen years
 as a minister's wife, I came to realize that I did not have to continue like this. 
Living with fear was a choice I was making. 
 
While attending a church school conference at beautiful Forest Home Christian Camp
 in California, God used Dr. Henry Brandt, a Christian psychologist, to minister His
 truth to me. Dr. Brandt used 2 Timothy 1:7 as his text, and that day, for the first time,
 I began to realize that my fears and anxieties were self-imposed.
 
God's choice for me was to have power, love, and self-discipline. God did not give
me a spirit of fear!  My poor self-image, my anxieties, my fears were all my own
doing and my sin because I lacked faith to receive the power, love, 
and self-discipline that God really wanted me to have. 
 
 As God began to help me with my fearfulness, my own self-image began to improve.
Over a period of weeks, and then months, it began to be obvious that God was changing me.

Now, many years later, I can say, "Thank You, Lord" for what He has done in me. 
I would not want to go back to the former Beverly for anything in the world- 
and the greatest thing is that God is not finished with me yet!

The Great Molasses Flood & Boston Brown Bread

 

  

 

 

  Tasting History's Max Miller recounts the tragic story of the Great Molasses Flood,
 which washed through Boston, Massachusetts in the winter of 1919, knocking
buildings off their foundation and smothering men, women, and children 
caught up in the huge wave of hot molasses pouring through the streets.

Obtained from refining sugarcane or sugar beet into sugar, this old-time
 sweetener is an essential ingredient in homemade baked beans as well
as in Fannie Farmer's famous Boston Brown Bread baked in a can.

Wednesday's Word: Maskil/Insightful Contemplative Song (Or Poem)

 

 

"Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God,
that in due time He may exalt you. Casting the whole of your care,
all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all
on Him for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully."
(1 Peter 5:6-7)

A Maskil of David 

 

Listen to my prayer, O God,

and do not ignore my plea.

Attend to me and answer me.

I am restless in my complaint,

and distraught at the voice of the enemy,

at the pressure of the wicked. 

For they bring down disaster upon me

and resent me in their anger.

My heart pounds within me,

and the terrors of death assail me. 

Fear and trembling grip me,

and horror has overwhelmed me.

I said, "Oh, that I had wings like a dove!

I would fly away and find rest.

How far away I would flee!

In the wilderness I would remain.

Selah
 (Pause and calmly think of that!) 

I would hurry to my shelter,

far from this raging tempest." 

But I call to God

and the LORD saves me.

Morning, noon, and night,

I cry out in distress,

and He hears my voice. 

He redeems my soul in peace

from the battle waged against me,

even though many oppose me.

God will hear and humiliate them-

the One enthroned for the ages-

because the do not change

and they have no fear of God. 

Cast your burden upon the LORD

and He will sustain you;

He will never let the righteous be shaken.

( PSALM 55:1-8; 16, 17, 18, 19, 22)

Tuesday Bible Study With Les Feldick: Justification

 

 

"Therefore since we are justified, acquitted, declared righteous, and given
right standing with God, through faith, let us grasp the fact that we have
the peace of reconciliation to hold and to enjoy, peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Anointed One."
(Romans 5:1)
