The Scare House

Wednesday, June 3, 2020

Did you ever as a child, go through an attraction that was supposed to scare you? It may have been called a scare house or a haunted house. And you rode or walked through it, and it was dark. You might have even felt hands touching you and heard scary noises. You had to tell yourself that it was just part of an amusement park ride, the danger wasn't real, the monsters were fake, and, ultimately, nothing was going to happen to you. In this world there are many threats, dangers, problems, and other things to fear. And yet, if you're a believer, the Bible says that God causes all things to work together for good for your sake. What does that mean? It means that even the scariest of situations and the worst of problems for you is like being in one of the those rides or houses at a carnival. Though the problem may look scary, ultimately, it's nothing. Even the enemy's worst attacks are, ultimately, going to be turned around for your good. Believe the good. Don't believe the evil and trust in the Lord. For at worst, your biggest problem is only a carnival ride.
