When I was a kid I remember being told that if was bad, that the Boogey Man would get me. Since I did something bad every day, I hated to see the night come because I was afraid that the Boogey Man would get me.
Top that off with the fact that we lived next to a graveyard, the probability of being snatched into a grave by the Boogey Man was real to a five-year-old.
Now, I’m surprised that there are grown people who still believe in the Boogey Man. The Boogey Man for grown folks is supposed to be a mysterious creature from a dark world who jumps in our world and causes problems.
The Boogey Man gets his power from our fear. The bigger our fear, the more powerful the Boogey Man.
Obviously, we do not fear the unknown, but trust God the Boogey Man is powerless. Our fear gives him power. Our faith kills him dead.
When the Boogey Man comes remember Psalm 27:1 “The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?”
As you face each day, you have no need to fear. God is your protector.
The Boogey Man has no power over you.
