My Fears
Posted by: adminI fell into bed that night worried and emotionally exhausted. I tossed and turned to sleep. The wind set a branch tapping at my window. each tap beat a steady rhythm. ” What if…what if… what if…?” What if I had typhoid? What if I had tuberculosis? What if I could no longer study? Fearful thought! Suddenly, in the middle of the somber darkness, coming from the tamarind tree outside my window, bird song filled the silence. I remembered an ancient proverb: Faith is the bird that sings to greet the dawn while it is still dark! The little bird was singing a song of faith and praise to call forth the promise of the morning light.
I,too, could sing a song of faith. I am not quite sure which song I was singing when i dropped off to sleep, but I woke up to a beautiful morning renewed and full of hope. i knew that God was with me. God would take care of me and give me strength.
