Concern OR Worry?

Our Thoughts:

The media is keeping the anthrax situation in front of the cameras, minute by minute. Unbeknowing to them, they are aiding the enemy in worrying half the population with fear of death, due to anthrax. Sure, this is a serious situation, and shouldn't be ignored. We should take caution in everything we do - be aware of things and people around us. But, we can't live our lives in fear of something that may never happen. I recall the time my husband was in Vietnam. That was a terrible place and a bad war to be in, especially given he was in a helicopter rescue unit! I could have taken on that fear of loss, but I chose to give my care to the Lord. I trusted Him that He would bring my husband home without a scar, and He did!

God is here for us throughout any situation. He wants to be the first One that we call upon. Man can only do so much, but God can protect us from anything man can do. But, as scripture says in James 1:8,'a double minded man is unstable in all his way'. We have to put our full trust in God, that He can handle the situation, before it becomes a hazard. We need to pray against all the things we are hearing on television about the proposed strikes against our nation. Don't let the enemy get hold of your Spirit, and make you doubt the power of God!
