My excuse?…… The cap explodes right in my face a split second before the gun bellows out a bullet headed for the target.  That’s the fun of a muzzleloader!!  The fear of the gun’s recoil/the kick, the loud noise, even the fear of me missing, causes me to flinch.  The fear of missing the shot, actually makes me miss!

Psalms 125:1 NIV Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever.

How do you “flinch” in your Christian walk.  Let me share a few examples.    Why pray, it won’t do any good.(flinch)  I’m seeking God’s will for my life, but……(flinch)  I’m as much afraid(flinch) of God answering my prayer, as I am that He won’t hear my prayer(flinch).  See? If you and I can be totally honest, we have way too much fear/doubt/unbelief(flinching) in our relationship with Christ.  Our fear/doubt/unbelief(flinching), actually causes us to miss out on God’s promises!

If I trust in the gun, I don’t allow my fears to cause me to flinch. I don’t shake or twitch. I am solid.

If I trust in the Lord, with His Help, I don’t allow my fears to cause me to flinch. I am solid.

Our heavenly Father has His Power and His Love that He promises to give us.  We  flinch at every encounter we have with Him.  What is so amazing about this awesome God with His power, is that He freely gives to each of us.  He will even help with your flinching.  Just ask Him!

Lord, help me to use this power for Your Glory. And Lord, help me with my fears, doubts, unbeliefs (flinching).  I want to be solid.  Bullseye!
