fear not

Again, we're spending some time on the Joshua passage (Joshua 1: 6-9) at church and even doing a sermon series called "Be not afraid". There are loads of Scripture telling us not to fear. In recovery groups, they tell you that fear is the underlying emotion of every defect. There's an acronym for fear which is False Evidence Appearing Real. And basically what recovery groups do is help support people in facing and moving through fear. That's why we all need "recovery groups" in life to help us keep growing...because it's fear that keeps us stuck. Another quote I like that helps me move off of the fear base is,

"Being restored involves action. We act our way into right thinking not the other way around. Belief comes as we act."
