The third chapter of Proverbs gives us a parallel situation. Instead of moles, the problem is fear—the kind of fear that robs us of strength during the day and sleep at night (vv.24-25). What is also evident from this chapter is that we can eliminate our fears only by attacking the "grubs" that attract it. We must go after our self-sufficiency and irreverence (vv.5-8). We have to treat our evil and foolish ways with a strong application of divine wisdom and understanding (vv.13-18). Then and only then will fear lose its grip. What's important is to know the real problem so that we can work on it. When it comes to fear, we must make wise decisions based on God's Word and build a love-trust relationship with Christ. That's what it takes to get rid of the "grubs." —Mart De Haan
By fear and inward doubt, Strive to do what pleases God, And He will lead you out. —Lloyd Keep your eyes on God and you'll soon lose sight of your fears.

The Transitional National Assembly met in its 4th session in Baghdad, Iraq, on April 6, 2005. Nominations were taken and a vote was cast. The votes were then read aloud as a tally was kept. Iraq's parliament has chosen Kurdish leader Jalal Talabani as the country's new president and his deputies will be former President Ghazi Yawer, a Sunni Muslim, and Finance Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi, who is Shia. The three candidates received 227 votes, while 30 ballots were left blank. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Dave Ahlschwede)
A frustrated homeowner had a yard full of moles. He tried everything he knew to defeat his underground enemy, but he was losing the battle. Finally a friend informed him that he was trying to solve his problem the wrong way. The moles weren't the true culprits. The real problem was the grubs that the moles were feeding on. Get rid of them and the moles would have no reason to stay.
