We
do have a lot of funny wee traditions as Christians. Most of them have to do
with small fears and the stress of everyday living. Real maturity becomes
evident when we don’t feel the need to speak out our fears in the guise of
prayers.
Paul
informs the superstitious Greeks that God is not far from us. “In Him we live
and move and have our being.” Acts 17:26-28. That being so, if we have a
relationship with Him, nothing should surprise us; our days should be filled
with small miracles as promised in Romans 8:28 “all things work together for
good.”
The
walk of faith is a daily adventure and our expectations should not be limited by
fear or anxiety for the outcome of things. We declare our intentions to walk
close to Him every morning when we commit our day to Him. Praying and feeding
in the Word can become as natural as our breakfast cereal when we expect God’s best.
I
remember a youth excursion once when a person stopped us all from jumping in
our cars to drive to a country location: “Let’s all pray for travelling Mercies”
they said and then prayed out from their fear of accidents. That same person
actually had an accident on the way and ended up in hospital. When we speak out
our fears we make room for the enemy. “Don’t tell the Devil your level!” Speak
out your expectation of good for the day and rest in the results.
