This week we’re
continuing to memorize Psalm 34. It tied in with some of the big and small
fears we faced.
Psalm 34:4-6 I sought the Lord, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears.
5 Those
who look to him are radiant;
their faces are never covered with shame.
6 This
poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.
I mentioned a few
weeks ago how terrified Edmund was to start swim and dive team practice. This
past weekend he and Alexis successfully completed several swim races in their very
first swim meet! Edmund went from holding the lane line all the way down (a
week ago) to diving off the block and swimming with side breathing.
Alexis had
originally not been scared the first week, but she got terrified to swim in the
deep end without also holding the lane line. One time, while swimming on her
back in the deep end, she said she prayed to God when she was really scared.
Whether our fear is rational or irrational, we can take it to God. He will listen and can help us. As we follow His direction and trust His lead, we can know He’s got it! He’s Faithful!
