What are we going to believe and stand on when trials come our way? Are we going to let our FAITH be bigger than our FEAR?
It's hard I understand, when the world is telling us to be afraid, but God is always telling us to trust and have FAITH. Thankfully His faithfulness is greater than our lack and shortcomings. He can see through our worries and he can see through the doubt and HIS PROMISES can make a way even in our weakness. Faith is not the absence of fear, its rising up and choosing to believe the truth of God's words despite the awareness of the fear.
Here is what He says and thankfully we can stand on this because we are His children:
"I WILL COVER YOU WITH MY FEATHERS AND UNDER MY WINGS YOU WILL FIND REFUGE; MY FAITHFULNESS WILL BE YOUR SHIELD AND RAMPART" -Psalm 91:4
Don't you love that God says "HIS FAITHFULNESS IS OUR SHIELD"? I love that we can depend on a faithful God and not our own weak grasp at mustering up enough faith.
"YOU WILL NOT FEAR THE TERROR OF NIGHT, NOR THE ARROW THAT FLIES BY DAY, NOR THE PESTILENCE THAT STRIKES IN THE DARKNESS, NOR THE PLAGUE THAT DESTROYS AT MIDDAY. A THOUSAND MAY FALL AT YOUR SIDE. TEN THOUSAND AT YOUR RIGHT HAND, BUT IT WILL NOT COME NEAR YOU." -Psalm 91:5-6
It takes FAITH to please GOD (Hebrews 11;6). We can show Him how much we love Him today by speaking words of FAITH into the circumstances of our fear.
