Scripture of the Day
2 Samuel 4:4 (NIV)
"Crippled By Fear"
(Jonathan son of Saul had a son who was lame in both feet. He was five years old when the news about Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel. His nurse picked him up and fled, but as she hurried to leave, he fell and became crippled. His name was Mephibosheth.)
-------------------------------------
When the news was heard that King Saul and his son Jonathan was killed, it cause a fear! The fear caused them to panic! When they panicked, they lost focus! Mephibosheth's (Jonathan's son) nurse fled in fear! She panicked . . . and it resulted in a five year old boy being crippled! This left Mephibosheth "Crippled By Fear" as a man! He saw his life in constant danger, because of the panic that took place years before when he was five!
When we (Christians) panic about everything that comes on the news . . . flee from the things we think might happen, we become "Crippled By Fear!" Many folks have parents who believed everything was a conspiracy when they were younger and now as adults . . . they are "Crippled By Fear" too. Many government employees have heard the news of an upcoming furlough, but this should not leave them "Crippled By Fear!" In fact, this is a great time to exercise the faith of "GOD will provide!" Don't let fear cripple you from praying and praising the FATHER!
