the roller coasters and the ones who wish they didn’t exist. We don’t

often find people who are indifferent to the thrill rides. Those who

love them are ready for the rush of energy and are very able to put

aside any thoughts of danger or fear.  But in life, the thrills can

often come with very real risk.  And those who live through some of

those fallouts can shift from thrill seekers to fear-filled worriers.

Moses is a pretty famous person in the Old Testament, but when we find

him being called by God to lead Israel, he is certainly overwhelmed with

fear. We won’t finish the story today, but we will find the surprising

beginning for someone who becomes a famous deliverer and hero.  And

perhaps we’ll find that our own story doesn’t need to be derailed by

fear!
