Dread:

     We who are His must govern our thoughts according to His Word.

     What is dread?  It the negative  fantasy of the thing that has not happened.  We are so sure we know how it will go.  We can hear the words.  We can feel the pain.  It has happened so many times.  Or perhaps it has never happened, and this is the unknown.

     Soldier, remember the children's chorus?

         My Lord know the way thru the wilderness -
         All I have to do is follow;
         My Lord knows the way thru the wilderness -
         All I have to do is follow.
         Strength for today is mine all the way,
         And all I need for tomorrow;
         My Lord knows the way thru the wilderness -
         All I have to do is follow.

     Is it true or not?  Has He promised to lead us through even the Valley of the Shadow of Death?

     The battle is in the mind, which wants to go over and over and over what might happen.

     Soldier of The Cross,  live for Him today.  Tomorrow is another today.    We never have to live in tomorrows.

     Underneath are the Everlasting Arms.  Run to Him now.
     Aloud.
