And the last couple of years is no exception.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Fear has driven many people to make decisions that they would not normally make.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">It has caused people to separate themselves from society. It has caused people to isolate themselves from friends and family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">And it has caused some to submit themselves to things that they would never have submitted to under normal circumstances.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">We want to remind everyone today that fear is not of God.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Fear is a tool used by the enemy and his cohorts to back people into a corner, making them feel like they have no choice but to obey those who are wielding that fear as a mighty weapon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Never make choices based on fear. It will almost always come back to haunt us. We will regret those choices terribly most times.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">So, if you\u2019re faced with making a choice of some kind, and fear is what\u2019s driving you to make that choice, step back and take a look at what\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Look for God in it. Does it feel like what you\u2019re doing is led by God? Are your choices giving you a feeling of peace?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Or does it feel chaotic and crazy, like you\u2019d never do this if you weren\u2019t scared?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Remember that God is not the author of confusion. And let that guide your decisions and choices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">1 Corinthians 14:33 (NKJV) 33 For God is not the author of confusion but of peace&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Pastor Curt &amp; Pastor Ellie<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Seven Seas Ministries<br \/>\n49 N Lamplighters Walk<br \/>\nHampstead, NC 28443<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">401-439-3780<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">If you know someone who will enjoy this or be encouraged by it, please feel free to share it with them!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>To have the Bible Verse of The Day delivered to your inbox each day, please\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mybibleverseoftheday.org\/\" data-slimstat=\"5\">Click Here<\/a>\u00a0and then enter your email address in the box near the upper left corner of the page.<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Please consider making a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mybibleverseoftheday.org\/donate.php\" data-slimstat=\"5\">Donation.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Get our mobile app here:<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Android:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/goo.gl\/oQ6qa7\" data-slimstat=\"5\">http:\/\/goo.gl\/oQ6qa7<\/a><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Apple:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/apple.co\/2lZdgYy\" data-slimstat=\"5\">http:\/\/apple.co\/2lZdgYy<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV) 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
