DEVOTION ON THE DECK: Fear is not from God

A big thank you to the friends who suggested this week's Devotion on the Deck! This passage brings so much peace and assurance, especially at a time when there are so many unknowns that try to distract us. Join me for a few minutes in the Word today!
✝️ How do you know if a feeling is from God?
😱 What exactly is a "spirit of fear?"
🛡️ What are the things God gives us to guard ourselves against fear?
Do you have a life verse? Let me know what it is in the comments!

My absolute favorite verse is Luke 6, I discovered it as I was trying to sort out my life after suffering two strokes and trying understand why and how I was still alive. By the grace of God I'm a little worse for wear but I'm still ticking. All I can say is, Thank you Jesus. ❣️🙏🏽✝️‼️

Fear is hard to fight for sure, but our best defense is God's Word. We like to say "stay read-up and prayed-up" and that just means to stay consistent in your Bible reading and prayer life. When you are so close to the Lord and His Word is written on your heart, that should be the first thought in your mind as soon as you are tempted to fear. We're praying this verse over you, that the Lord will strengthen the spirit of power, love, and self-control within you and help you overcome fear 🙏
