What is it that moves you? Is it the thought of what tomorrow brings? Is it the diagnosis you just received? When you’re rooted to the kingdom of this world, you’ll constantly be moved by circumstances. However, as believers, He is calling us to be rooted to Him and His kingdom! When you’re rooted to this, you’ll be moved by the impulses of the Holy Spirit.

You may have heard the popular phrase that speaks to how many talk the talk, but few will actually walk the walk. Your actions speak. As believers, we hear the messages and quote the verses, but the temptation to live casually exists. We can hear and know the language of this new day, but does it stop there? Does our lifestyle reflect new life? Are we walking the walk? Or are we just talking the talk?

It’s been said we will reflect what we’ve been placing our focus on. We can see this to be true on the faces of smiling babies that have had constant smiles being sent their way. They’re reflecting what they’re seeing, and it shows on their countenance. Next, look at those with disgruntled countenances. While that dissatisfied expression may not have come from constant angry looks sent to them, if fixation on everything going wrong has been priority, then that person has been staring into the face of the wrong thing. The countenance of people speaks. What does your countenance say about you? Have you been staring at the problems or the One with the solution to all problems?

The spirit of fear. When hearing those words, one may remember the popular verse that speaks to how that spirit is not what He has given. Where does it come from then? How does one get free from such? Since He has given love, how does one walk in this perfect love? How does one live with a sound mind? The answers exist in the midst of His perfect love!

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?
