Are you a fearful person? When asked, one may be apt to say no. After all, some view having fear as a sign of weakness and do not want to be seen as such. But…are you stressed? Anxious? Worried? The response to these questions are more likely to be yes. Nevertheless, if we can perceive it, the overriding influence of these emotions is fear.

As believers, we are designed to testify of Abba’s love by not surrendering to fear. We are encouraged to yield to His love. It is perfect, and it overcomes all fear. 

Fear. The word alone may cause certain feelings within, for we all have had our own experiences with it. But whatever the circumstance, we are left with a choice. Will we yield to fear or will we choose to yield to His perfect love? Will we “stand still” and wait on Him to move forward or will we continually wander on our own accord?

There are many lenses one could look through when trying to define the word “son.” Our Father invites us to look at sonship through the eyes of His Son, who walked this earth with a knowing of why He came. He knew His “why,” so that we could know ours.

When one hears the phrase “heart of worship,” often the first thought that comes to mind is worship by way of song. However, when examining scripture, there are many instances where worship takes on a meaning outside of the accompaniment of music. Look at Abraham when he was asked to sacrifice Isaac. The posture of his heart was surrendered to the Word of the Lord…his obedience and surrender was actually worship. This lifestyle of worship is our call as sons and daughters.

The bread is fresh. The table is set. An empty seat is awaiting. The invitation to sit at the table and dine with Him has been given. Being seated with Him and setting the Lord before will usher in divine encounter. And divine encounter will produce a knowing of Him by way of experience.

Jesus’ resurrection is a fundamental part of our faith. It changed everything. It should absolutely be celebrated and talked about! But it should not stop there. It is not meant to just be talked about, it is meant to be experienced. This experience is not just for us, but it is evidence to the world.
