Fear can be completely overwhelming. It burrows deep and erodes away your security. Often it prevents you from trying new things or moving forward altogether. I got the rock in the picture from a friend a long time ago and I've kept it as a visual reminder of where my security truly is. Just like when we fail to build something with a strong foundation if we live our lives without the foundation that never fails, then fear will many times overwhelm us and take us down.
My minions, as they were recently named, are both on the verge of starting new things and we've talked at length about the fear that often comes up when they try to plan the tomorrows. I just keep reminding them to cling to the rock - the only real strength in the face of any storm. He is our rock and He will work out His plan in their lives and in mine.
I learned the song below many years ago on a mission trip to the Pacific Northwest. I loved it then and it speaks great truth still today. God is my strength and my salvation and through all the fear and change and new things He has never changed.
