"Fear of real danger is a good idea. Fear of imaginary danger drives you crazy!"
Do you have a figurative "monster under the bed"--that fear keeps you up at night?
Monsters under the bed are supposed to be a childhood problem that we gratefully outgrow. But the truth is, we don't outgrow our monsters. They only evolve over time into adult monsters, equally fearful and troublesome.
Under-the-bed monsters can seem eerily real as we lie awake in the middle of night, anxious thoughts running wild and stealing our precious sleep. They whisper scary "what-ifs" like: What if I won't have enough for retirement? What if something happens to my teenager while he's out with friends? What if this mysterious pain turns out to be something serious? What if I don't get the promotion? Adept at preying on our worst fears and deepest concerns, these monsters seem to know us too well.
But they're not real. These monsters actually live in the realm of
possibility, which seems an awful lot like probability or even reality in the middle of the night. They often vanish by the time the alarm clock goes off, but can stubbornly reappear at the most inopportune times, whispering those "what-ifs" and stealing our joy.
God's Word has a surprising solution to these types of fears...
