Fear - Are You A Pessimist?

Not everyone is ready to accept the thought that "the best is yet to come." This is true for a number of reasons.

- Some are content to live in the past. They delight in the "good old days."

- Many are content to live mediocre. They are content to drift from day to day.

- Insecurity hinders many people from believing that the best is yet to be. They want to hold on to their position or things. They will never know the excitement of laughing out by faith, or waiting for the great things of tomorrow.

- Negative thinking guides the decisions and attitudes of many people. They choose to accept the premise that the worst is yet to come. They will get what they wish for if they are not careful.

- Many more have no goals for theirs lives. They don't know where they are going today, much less tomorrow.

- A few think they don't have any needs. They are please with the way things are in their lives. They forget that there is always room for improvement in our lives.

- Fear is always a major enemy to progress. It also hinders us from becoming excited about the future.

The life of the Christian is not as always bright as like sunshine. It always has the seasons of lowliness, or darkness and may full of trials. This life may not be a perfect life to live, and some of us still living in darkness of fear. We are afraid to try to escape from that darkness.

What is it that makes stopping us to move on and living in fear?

2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
