Bigger than the Boogeyman

Ran across an old favorite on the Kids Christian Music Spotify playlist I'm listening to today:



Having a baby has made me realize there are a lot more boogie men than I can even name. He had the sniffles yesterday and there was the RSV boogie man. I have been beginning the process of sleep training and up popped the "you are doing this too early in his developmental process and are going to damage him forever" boogie man. My husband just shared some work struggles and there was the "I will need to go back to work when my husband has to quit his job" boogie man. Unfounded but real fears pop up everywhere. For someone who has real struggles with anxiety, having a kid has given me many more opportunities to face them.

God is bigger than the boogie men. Satan is a real foe. His primary aim is to steal, kill and destroy. As a believer, I'm sealed with the Holy Spirit, destined for eternity with Christ that begins now. Satan can't do anything ultimately to impact that. However, he can encourage me to doubt God's goodness, greatness, graciousness, and glory. When I doubt these things, fears begin to run rampant and I forget Who it is that I ultimately serve.

Part of being a child of God is that He is bigger than anything I will have to face in my future and He will be with me, so I have nothing to fear.

God is bigger than the Boogie Man.
