30 Days of Pushing Back Fear. Life hack.

Nathan: 00:00

The Lord is my light and my salvation;

Whom shall I fear?

The Lord is the strength of my life;

Of whom shall I be afraid?

David. Psalm 27:1. Hi, it’s Nathan, and this is Day 18 of 30 Days of Pushing Back Fear. For some of us, people are our greatest source of anxiety. A spouse. A friend. A bully. Strangers person. An invisible person on social media. A crowd. But David had found a work-around; a social hack: when God was the one who delighted him, nobody scared him. When God was the one who fueled his life—people didn’t intimidate him. Ah, so Jesus—speaking hundreds of years later, had it right—we can only serve God—or people—never both. God’s presence fills our landscape—calms; anchors us—or people do—manipulating; frightening us.
