Psalm 91:5-6 NKJV
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

There is a certain breed of domestic goat that is known to faint when startled. At the sound of a loud noise, its hind leg muscles freeze up for about ten seconds and this “fainting goat” collapses on its side like a sack of potatoes!

What happens when the enemy catches you off guard? Are you temporarily paralyzed with fear? Many of us feel like keeling over when troubles suddenly come. We are overwhelmed by feelings of helplessness, anxiety, uncertainty, and fear. These are all natural responses, but faith is a supernatural response to these feelings. Believers have a choice — to freeze in fear or flex their faith muscles. Speak His Word over your circumstance. Proclaim the name if Jesus over your fear. Don’t worry about what people think. Instead, open your Bible and find out what God has to say about the situation.

We don’t have to let fear floor us. Let’s take our eyes off our circumstances and look to Christ instead.
