Day 8 - Integrity (Psalm 34:4-7)

I sought the LORD, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.  They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried out, and the LORD heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them.
(Psalm 34:4-7)
 
 
Many times our greatest fear is failure.  If you think back, most of the things you never tried to do was because you didn't want to fail.  I have never met a man who was afraid of trying hard, but I have spoken with hundreds of men who are afraid of failing.  They are afraid of failing themselves, their family, and GOD.
 
Remember this, "Failure is a stepping stone to success, not a sitting room for hopelessness".  Don't magnify your fear to the size of impossibility when Jesus tells us in Matthew 19:26 that "... with GOD all things are possible."
 
This quote says it best, “Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Do not misunderstand me. Danger is very real. But Fear is a choice.”
 
Men, it is time for you to Face Your Fear(s).  A Christian man of integrity has not been given the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind (2 Tim 1:7)

Men, don't ask GOD to lead you to a safe place; ask HIM to lead you to the right place!  It is very seldom these two places are in the same location!
