"OK, background players," announced the assistant director through the bullhorn, "this scene is supposed to be hairy and scary. You're trapped in a bad flight that has hit rough air. You are victims - got that?"At the time I was working as a screen extra for a TV movie. It was early morning, and I was fresh and eager to give my all to the "hairy and scary" scene. "Lights, camera, action!"
Soon the mock airplane was alive with victims - with some (including me) gyrating violently in our seats, creating the illusion of turbulence. Gripping the sides of my passenger chair, I imagined a series of worst-case scenarios to help me with the scene: What if the bumps get worse? How worse? Would I survive?
"Cut!" yelled the voice through the megaphone. "Nice job of fear - but let's do it again, only with more fear."
Hours and many retakes later, I emerged tired and drained. Days later when faced with a real-life crisis, a dental emergency, I found myself imagining: What if I need surgery? How can I afford it? Will I financially go under? Again, I wound up tired and drained from the worst-case scenarios going through my head.
The Lord is Your Vine
Over the years from reading God's Word, I have discovered that you and I are to be "casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ" (2 Cor. 10:5, NKJV). In fact, Jesus has admonished us not to worry about tomorrow (see Matt. 6:25-34).
As we head into new seasons, I invite and challenge you not to imagine worst-case scenarios, but instead to turn to God - a good God whose perfect love casts out all fear (see 1 John 4:18), a loving God who desires the best for you and me (see 3 John 2).
Starting today let the Lord be your vine, the source from which you derive all strength to face the day (see John 15:1-8). Instead of building fear from within yourself, why not build your faith in a Sovereign God who has all in His powerful hand? You will emerge more than a conqueror through Him who loves you (see Rom. 8:37).
