fear anyone...?!

A blessed struggle?

the most beautiful things that God says

are reserved for those that struggle with fear

 

God rehearses His promises

AGAIN!

 

I recently started Kay Arthur's Breaking Free from Fear

no-homework (not that I mind the homework, but with the start of school...did you hear THAT?! NO HOME WORK ☺) Bible study.

 

This is a 6 week study with each week taking about 1/2 hour to 45 minutes.  If you are not familiar with a Precept study - it is a fun way to go deep in the Word.  "Specially" if you are a mark up/hi-light your Bible or book sort of person.  In this study the verses are printed right along the side of each page.  I think one of the reasons this type of study is effective for me is that I am reading and re-reading the text while *searching for something different* (this helps keep me focused). 

 *For example, put a ♥ over every reference to love in the passage

a triangle for reference to God

draw a jagged circle around "afraid" or "fear"

That was the "OBSERVE" section of the week.  Next DISCUSS with specific questions and helpful study insight.

 

"we looked at David, a man who confessed that he was opposed, trampled on, shedding tears--afraid.  Yet he recorded for posterity that When I am afraid, I will put my trust in You Psalm 56:3.  The future king didn't minimize his situation or deny his feelings; rather he described how he conquered fear's bondage: David put his trust in God."

I received a copy of this book for the purpose of review.
