Living Scared

But they kept quiet because on the way they had argued about who was the greatest. Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all. ‭‭Mark‬ ‭9:34-35‬ ‭NIV‬‬

However, we don’t want to offend them, so go down to the lake and throw in a line. Open the mouth of the first fish you catch, and you will find a large silver coin. Take it and pay the tax for both of us.Matthew‬ ‭17:27‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Jesus knew that the Father had given him authority over everything and that he had come from God and would return to God. So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him. John‬ ‭13:3-5‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Living scared will cause you to stand up when you should stand down.

Why don’t you talk to me?” Pilate demanded. “Don’t you realize that I have the power to release you or crucify you?” Then Jesus said, “You would have no power over me at all unless it were given to you from above. John‬ ‭19:10-11‬ ‭NLT‬‬

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil… ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23:5‬ ‭NIV

When he was accused by the chief priests and the elders, he gave no answer. Then Pilate asked him, “Don’t you hear the testimony they are bringing against you?” But Jesus made no reply, not even to a single charge—to the great amazement of the governor. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭27:12-14‬ ‭NIV

You’re louder when you’re living scared.

But the mob shouted louder and louder, demanding that Jesus be crucified, and their voices prevailed. Luke‬ ‭23:23‬ ‭NLT 

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. ‭‭James‬ ‭1:19-20‬ ‭NIV

You are able to be still when you’re living in the Spirit. 

The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.

Don’t let what scares you stop you.
