If I could only write one sentence today to encourage you, it would be to repeat Rend Collective’s perfect declarative sentence from their song, “I Will Be Undignified,” which is on their Good News album.
Sometimes I’m afraid.
Many times over the last two years the Lord Jesus has lifted my soul up from a deep place of fear and brought me to His throne room dancing in freedom. Praise God for Rend Collective! Their music encourages me, and I now have made one of their lyrics a lifeline for myself.
“My soul will not bow to the fear!”
How? You ask.
When I seek first God’s Kingdom and His righteousness, I have no fear. It’s those times when I don’t do that that fear creeps in and digs his nasty claws into my soul and tries to drag me down.
Every day we can be attacked by fear. Our enemy uses fear to decrease our hope and success and prevent us from living in freedom.
Friends, we need to stop fear in its ugly tracks immediately. We need to seek God first so that fear can’t grab hold of our souls. We need to bow to Jesus only, first, and always. Never bow to fear!
“My soul will not bow to the fear!”
Today, may we claim our souls for Jesus Christ. Let’s choose to seek Him first and never bow to fear.
Scripture:
Matthew 6:33 – But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Isaiah 43:1 – But now, this is what the LORD says—he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
