Review about Fear ------Performed by Casting Crowns | 04/25/2007 11:00:00 AM Who do I believe? That's what living the Christian life comes down to for me - and what this song sums up so perfectly. Do I believe Satan - the waves and the giants - when he tells me I'll never win, when he reminds me of all the times I've failed, all the times I've fallen, messed up, gone my own way and gotten lost in sin? And all the times I've returned to God and His grace and been forgiven, only to fall again, and again, and again. Or when the Lord shows me something in my life that's not right, or shows me something He wants me to do, when He wants me to take a big step of faith, to stop depending on myself or others, and to climb out of the boat and trust him - but the sound of the waves is deafening and I get terrified and stay right where I am. Which is right where the enemy wants me, afraid and ineffective. Or do I believe Jesus, and all of His promises? Do I believe God when He says: "I know the thoughts I think towards you...thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."? I choose to believe that. And I'll have to choose again tomorrow, and the day after. And on days when it all gets too much and I can barely think and the waves and the giants in my mind are hard to ignore, I'll listen to this beautiful song - as I have done almost every day since I discovered it six weeks ago - and be reminded that fear doesn't come from the Lord. That Jesus is the One I should be listening to. And that His word is where I need to be. God bless. Thanks to John, Ireland for submitting the review.
