Anxiety

While watching a movie tonight, a statement was made by a residing doctor.

I feel it holds some weight.

"Anxiety is an enemy to pregnancy"  

I'm sure that it is obvious to all what the doctor was saying to the frustrated and anxious husband.

I would like to say that I believe there is alot more to this statement.  

In the Spiritual realm this holds true as well.   Over and over in the Scriptures the Lord urges His people to take the position of His Rest.  He speaks of "casting our cares",  "Being anxious for nothing", "Counting it all joy",  "Do not be discouraged or dismayed",   even in the "valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil"

Fear.....the opposite of trust.

In James we find that the Lord sees doubt as something that will cancel out prayer. 

When we accept the Lord as our SAVIOR we make a choice to put our lives into His Hands.  We offer ourselves to Him....We give over the reigns.  Granted all of that does not happen totally at that moment, but certainly over time, with reading the Scriptures, praying and studying we find that He indeed is faithful and good to His Word.

God wants us "pregnant".  

He wants us full of EXPECTANCY!   

He want to fill us ....with the realization that 

"No eye has seen , nor ear heard what God has in store for those that love Him!

He so longs for us to trust Him.....totally....that we will be "filled" with all that He has for us!

Please give up the contraceptives of fear, doubt, humanistic thinking etc that you might "conceive" all that He holds for you.   

The enemy will fight you on this one....

stand your ground!
