The Temptation of Egypt

We usually think of fear as a sudden fright, like a a jump scare. But there is another type of calculating fear that I call sinful spiritual fear that is far more dangerous. It’s the quiet panic that sets in when you realize you are losing control of a situation. It’s that slow realization fear that the money is running out, the marriage is growing colder, or the waiting is taking too long. And in that moment, your mind starts racing. You start building contingency plans to save yourself. Why? Because deep down, you suspect God isn't going to act fast enough, or maybe He won't act at all. Today, we’re looking at what happens when our panic threatens to overrule God's promise.
