Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill
the soul. Rather be afraid of the One
who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
Matthew 10:28 NIV
God wants me to keep a big perspective, a spiritual
perspective.
This is a stern verse but it is only there for my good. God knows how easily we are overcome with
fear.
He wants us to shift our eyes off the things or people we
fear and refocus on him. If our child
was about to step into danger, we would speak sharply and strongly to get them
to pay attention to us and avoid the danger.
God knows that as long as we keep our focus on him that we will be
safe. Our bodies are only here on earth
for a short time anyway and, while we live here, if our thoughts are on God he
will keep our soul from despair even when things are difficult. God is the only
one with real power.
