Swine Flu and Fear

Swine flu.

Those words are on the tongues of newscasters, politicians, talk show hosts and even the president of the United States.

It's true, swine flu can kill. We need to take precautions. Wash our hands often. Try to stay away from crowds if possible. Go to the doctor if we feel we have symptoms of the virus.

What we should not do is live in fear. We need to do all we can and trust that God has our lives in his hands.

Living in fear is NOT the life God wants for us. Fear debilitates, muddles our thinking, makes us act irrationally. That's not any way to live!

Ask God to deliver you from any fear that is controlling you.

Being smart but not fearful, Gloria
