So I have been thinking
It can sometimes be a terrible thing for me. Partially because I, at times, get these highly irritating mind blocks. In these moments, I find most fulfillment playing my guitar and worshiping God. Maybe God is causing my mind blocks so I can worship Him? Also, when I do a lot of thinking – which I don’t know of any moment of the day where I am NOT thinking – I sometimes get ideas and have no where to place them. I will have an “idea spree”. I am not disciplined in writing my ideas down, mostly because I feel like it slows me down. Also, I simply just do not cary a note pad on me any more.
BUT!
Like I said: I have been thinking – And – I suppose I shall have another series to write about here on the good ‘ole Sorting Beans page. The topic I want to write about is that of fear. Observe the fact that fear is a topic of enormous weight. Thus, my coverage of fear will be limited, quite so. Therefore I will present to you an idea of the influence of fear and how it can play a role in our lives.
Most of us would have a pretty good understanding of how fear can be both healthy and unhealthy. For we are told to “Fear God”. Naturally speaking, if you don not want to be electrocuted to death, you will most likely not be found indulging in the infamous “Pierce the electric socket with my metal object” game. This is a good product of fear. An individual fears the result(s) of some action which could worsen their current state of existence. Unhealthy example would be hyperventilating every time you were near an electrical socket for fear of it having some keen sense of knowing you are afraid of it and at any time it could jump sparks out to get you, as if the simple think can think.
However
The examples I am going to use are found in 1 Samuel 19 through 2 Samuel 2:7. It is David’s flee from Saul. I will talk about how the influence of fear played a role on both David and Saul throughout Saul’s pursuit and David’s flee. I am not sure how long this series will last, but I promise at least two posts. Knowing me, I will make it at least three. So, sorry, no outline for this one.
Contemplate the affects of fear: good and bad. Consider how both David and Saul could have been motivated by it. My next post will be the first “official” installment of this new series.
God bless!
