“For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your
ways” (Psalm 91:11).
The time had come. I was about to
get on the back of a motorcycle that looked like a Behemoth. My heart was
beating rapidly and my mouth was getting dry. It had been forty years since I
had ridden a motorcycle and it wasn’t this monstrosity I was about to mount.
We bought our first motorcycle, a Harley Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Classic, last year. My husband had ridden for several weeks without me, but now it was time for me to get on the back and ride with him. I knew he would be careful. I wasn’t
afraid of that. I was just scared, period. This was something new to me, and
equipment I wasn’t used to. The main thing I was afraid of was the fools out on the road that never seem to look where they are going.
But God reminded me of His
presence by whispering Psalm 91:11 to me.
I made that ride and have made
many more since then. Each one gets a little easier because I am more familiar
with what to expect now. When we face the unknown, it is scary. But nothing is
unknown to God and when we put our trust in His promises, the unknown is taken
care of. He knows what is out there ahead of us in life and all He wants us to
do is trust Him. No matter what kind of Behemoth is around that curve up ahead,
stand on His promises and know those promises are for you because He loves you.
I would love to hear how you have faced and conquered some type of fear.
