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.

Matthew 5:15 NKJV – Let your ight shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

In the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, during a two-week mating period in late spring, a unique species of fireflies is known to synchronize their flashing light patterns. Unlike other species of fireflies that blink their lights randomly, these bioluminescent beauties flicker their individual lights at the same time.

The Bible says that we are to walk as children of light(Ephesians 5:7-14) in a darkened world. The fruit of the light is found in goodness and righteousness and truth. When we live our lives in sync with God’s Word, we shine with Him, and the Light of the World (John 8:12), and we shine to His glory, piercing the darkness of this age.

These special fireflies do not always flash in unison. Sometimes they flash in waves across the midnight hillsides. At other times, they flash together in harmonious short bursts that end in sudden periods of darkness. Sometimes our lives look a lot like that too. But when we set our hearts to love God and one another, we cannot fail to shine.
