Fear

Read 2 Samuel 13-15

2 Samuel 15:14 "And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for we shall not else escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword."

It’s just about the end of the third month of the new diet and exercise regimen. We’re either pleased with the progress we’re seeing, or ready to give up on the whole plan.

But if we’ve had any kind of a health scare, the fear is going to keep us motivated. Maybe we have a friend in similar condition who has heard bad news from the doctor and we want to prevent the same thing happening to us.

Maybe we’re the ones who have no choice but to change our lifestyles, maybe it was merely a doctor’s suggestion. If fear is what is needed to keep us going for the time being, it’s not necessarily a bad thing.
