Faith Over Fear
It takes some serious courage to live out your life in faith and not
fear. The author of Chase, Jennie Allen,
brings up a great point, “Fear has so captivated our minds we don’t even
recognize it anymore. It’s just how we
think.”
In 1 Samuel 17: 36-37 we get a
glimpse into a faith over fear moment in David’s life. In Verse 37 David declares, “the Lord who
delivered me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will deliver me
from the hand of the Philistine.” David
trusted God and trusted in who God created him to be when he stepped in the
path of a blood-thirsty giant. Imagine
the many fears that could have kept David from acting on his faith.
In what areas of your life is fear trumping faith? Imagine
what those situations might look like if you were to seek God’s wisdom and
obediently step out in faith on His promises. Start praying today and asking
God to uncover those deep rooted fears and invite a friend to join along in
praying for you.
Psalm
27
The Lord is my light and my salvation;
Whom Shall I fear?
