Welcome to Day 1563 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomFacing Fear – Daily WisdomWelcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. Our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend; this is Gramps; thanks for coming along on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Today is Day 1563 of our Trek, and it’s time for your daily snippet of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today’s trek. If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget:
Today’s quote is from Gramps, and it is: The function of fear is to warn us of danger, not to make us afraid to face it.
Facing Fear
It seems to me that so many people are fearful today. Maybe it has always been that way. Like so much of our news and information, the evidence of fear is exploding through social media. Even much of the division and anger we see on display is rooted in fear. A proper level of fear is required for our safety, but only when the evidence supports that fear, which is rare. We have become so used to fear, if we are faced with an event where we should be fearful, we do not know how to face that fear properly. Most media outlets and online social sites feed on people's fear because it drives eyeballs and revenue to their platform. This happens on all sides of the political spectrum. It is not reserved just for one ideology. Most of what we experience as fear today is False Evidence Appearing Real.
We cannot allow ourselves to succumb to fear. When we do face real fear, we need to face it head-on. Now, if there is imminent danger to our lives or the lives of those we love, then the response should be to remove yourself from that situation as quickly as possible. Otherwise, we need to conquer what is causing fear in our lives. Unfounded fear of success in any aspect of our life is an idea-crippling, experience-crushing, success-stalling inhibitor inflicted only by yourself. We must have the courage to carry on and fulfill our God-given destiny for our life. Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. As Christ-followers, we need to come to the understanding that the opposite of faith is fear. Let us have faith that God is in control of our lives and all events throughout the world. God’s love will keep us in His arms, and nothing can separate us from His love.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%208%3A38andversion=NLT (Romans 8:38)
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Timothy%201%3A7andversion=NLT (2 Timothy 1:7)
For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.
As you ponder this nugget of wisdom for yourself, I would ask you to please encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along on Monday for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.’
