Fearing Yourself

 

Fearing your own evil inclinations is a good policy.  It should drive you to continually judge yourself and pray for mercy from your Creator to help you keep your feet on the right path.

Not all of us have the ready resource of a steady, godly parent or a circle of Christ-loving friends who are looking for His return and His kingdom.  Those of us who do still have the vulnerability of being human and the surroundings of temptation that pull the flesh in us toward self destruction.

Fear and pray, but don't despair.  Understand that this is something from which we will be delivered from with much joy.  The Master of Creation will show us how this element of our existence did fit into His plan with loving brilliance.
