What do you do when fearful?

I was in LA attending a conference and retraced some early steps in a walk around to have dinner. Leaving the restaurant to return to my hotel I decided to travel a street that I had neglected in my previous travel. I made a wrong turn and slowly became aware of dwindling population, change in those that I encountered, music heard on the street and feelings of being fearful arose within me. Looking around I saw people pitching tents for a night on the streets of LA; noticed an increasing lack of diversity that one sees in the downtown hotel area and I began to be fearful...

I was sharing this story with someone I met on my ride to the airport and their question to me was...Did I witness to anyone? They shared that their cousin was a missionary in Ecuador and had been for thirty years. Sometimes they would be flown into remote areas that held imminent danger and in those instances they witnessed most readily...I thought and have been thinking...

But I was fearful, quickly relying on my instincts to remove me from danger, and only had thoughts of what I could do in the situation...how quickly we can remove ourselves from reliance on God, seeking His presents and will in our lives...perhaps missing an opportunity to re-present the kingdom in real and tangible ways. As I changed course and began to encounter familiar landmarks then wiping the sweat from my forehead I realized that I had not once thought about God or to seek His protection in my unfamiliar surroundings. My fellow traveler to the airport has brought me to my knees!
