Animals, by the instinct of self-preservation, will either fight or run in reaction to fear, except for possums who freeze up and play dead. Humans, very often, react to the fears life brings much like the possum. Christ, however, shows an altogether different attitude when challenged. He seems always to be calm and in control of every situation. He knows that not a single hair will fall from his head unless the Father deliberately permits it to occur. Many times our fears corner us to the point that we get spooked. To conquer our fears, we need to believe more, hope more, and love Christ much more. To have he confidence that Christ has knowing that not a single hair will fall from you head .
Are not five sparrows sold for two small coins? Yet not one of them has escaped the notice of God.
Even the hairs of your head have all been counted. Do not be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows.
– Luke 12:6
