Keep Your Fears to Yourself
Robert Louis Stevenson said, "Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others." The children of Israel were told not to speak as they walked around the walls of Jericho. What they were doing was foolish. They were opening themselves to the ridicule of the enemy. It would have been hard to say anything positive, but when they did say something in the form of a unified shout, it brought the downfall of the enemy, not their brethren. One of Satan"s biggest lies is to tell Christians that to witness for Christ is difficult. To say that we are unable to witness is to say that God"s promise of help is empty. If I say, "I can"t" when God"s Word says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me,"( Philippians 4:13) I am choosing a lie rather than the truth. So, keep your fears to yourself, and share your courage with others. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
