The Cosmic Boogie Man

Sunday, May 7, 2023

As a child I heard, "Don't let the Boogie Man get you." I didn't know who he was or why he was interested in getting me, but I was afraid of him, scared that he was under the bed waiting to grab my feet. Years later I found out that to boogie was to do a dance, and the Boogie Man was a man who just wants to boogie. All that fear was for nothing. You have fears too - maybe the fear of rejection, of harm, of abandonment, of pain - or something else. The enemy uses the fears we have to cripple, hinder or limit us. But at the end of every fear, God is there. He promises that He's above everything. So what are we afraid of? All the enemy's threats and intimidations, it's just the Boogie Man. If God is for you, who can be against you? The Boogie Man, that's it. Whom shall you fear? Stop letting the enemy hinder your walk. Stop giving into fear, anxiety and worry. Live free, fearless, with faith in God, any other way is to live in fear of the Boogie Man.
