Craig and I were at the doctors this morning sitting in the waiting room when I noticed a familiar song over the intercom. It was ‘Fear doesn’t stand a chance when I stand in Your love.’ That particular line was playing over and over, and I began to really think about it. It’s not that we can say, “Oh, I have perfect love from the Father, so fear be gone.” You see, It’s not merely a thought, it’s a place. It’s in His real presence, not just thinking about it and making a deceleration, but it’s getting into His Presence until it consumes your awareness. One moment in His presence and you’re reminded of who He is, who you are, and all His promises. When your standing in His presence and remembering all that He is and you’re being filled up with His joy and hope then naturally, all fear subsides. Scripture says for us to strive to enter into that rest. It’s the only place in the Bible that tells us to strive. We have to wake up and live everyday with that one goal. To apprehend His presence
In Christ,
