No fear!


How could this young man play around with a live serpent? "I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me" Phil 4:13.

Even the most poisonous and the most deadly serpent in the wilderness can be tamed. Nothing is impossible. As a friend of mine usually puts it, "even the word impossible says I-M-POSSIBLE". But the question is why do we often find ourselves fearful, distressed and despondent? When the serpents of an examination, financial crisis, joblessness, divorce, childlessness, disease and even death come sneaking into your home do you faint or to you stand firm? Which takes precedence: fear or faith?

Remember that if the most poisonous snakes can be tamed, God can tame your snakes of life too. Under the Shadow of the Almighty, you can rest assured that His grace is sufficient for you.
