Our responses to difficulties
differ remarkably
when we are walking closely with the Lord
as contrasted to
how we act during seasons of disobedience.
When we are hiding from the Lord in shame,
protecting sin we are unwilling to confess and release,
we become prey to
fear of punishment.
O bedience, even just the intent to obey,
changes
our mindsets
so that we expect good things rather than disaster.

There
is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with
punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love
