Hello Steemians
Its been a little while since I blogged due to my tight school schedule. Studying engineering is no easy thing to do.
I want to talk about something I discovered a few days back. It is true that no matter how big or small we are in sizes and mind, there is something we fear. This phobia usually differs in every human.
There is a saying that "Fear is just an illusion". This I have discovered to be true. My main reason for believing this is that, my phobia is different from another person's own. If my fears were as consuming as I thought, then everyone too would be afraid of the same thing. Everything fear we have is just from our mind. A wise man once told me that Fear means;
False Evidence Appearing Real.
The fear most people have have hindered them from reaching their full potential. This is amiss to what God has given us. God in his supremacy knows that fear can stop a man from fulfilling his destiny, according to his word, he gave us the spirit of love, power and sound mind 2 Timothy 1:7.
2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind"
We need to confront and understand our fears for that ability is placed in us by God. Fear leads to inactivity and this can stop us reaching our goals. Overcoming our fears gives us a unique kind of confidence that can help us achieve more.
There is but only one we should fear, and that is GOD. The word of God says that the fear of God brings wisdom Proverbs 9:10. This wisdom is what we need in life to become successful. So it is wise to fear God for this act gives us wisdom (the principal thing).
Proverbs 9:10 NKJV
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding"
Conclusion
Our fears are can be overcomed. The ability to do this is in us. We should fear only God for we get wisdom from it. Ask yourself these questions, What are my fears? Is everyone also afraid of the same thing? If not, why am I really afraid of it? Is this God's plan for me?. Answer these questions and overcome your fears.
