What are you afraid of? That’s a question that we often hear, and
when we do, we tend to respond to with answers like snakes, spiders,
or the dark. While those are valid fears, if we’re honest we’ll
admit that fear also targets us on a much deeper level, one that
torments the core of who we are and how we live.
But have you ever thought about how fear targets us? It uses
deception to cause us to think that challenging situations are
bigger than they really are and that we are smaller inside than we
really are. Basically, fear functions as a con man in our lives,
using ruses like the switcheroo, the hustle, the sting, or the heist
to fool us into falling for deceptions that tell us that we’re
inadequate, or isolated, or unlovable.
Thankfully, we’re not defenseless against these cons. God’s love
provides everything we need to pull the plug on fear’s deceptions
and to switch the false ideas of fear to the truth. Now we’re the
ones pulling off the switcheroo as we learn how to identify and
break through fear’s con games by trusting God’s love to counter and
conquer each one.
