| Fear Versus Faith |
|
| ¡°So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.¡± ( Isaiah 41:10 , NIV ) |

HOW MANY circumstances that you worried about have had a good outcome because you worried about it?
Medical doctors agree that worry affects the circulation, the heart and the whole nervous system.
To be filled with fear keeps the ¡°flight or fight¡° syndrome flooding the body with adrenalin. This adrenalin is trapped and absorbed by the body, causing multiple illnesses.
David, the apple of God's eye, chose to move from fear to faith. Then he could always say: ¡°I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears¡° (Psalm 34:4, NIV).
In 2 Chronicles 20:15, Jehoshaphat prayed: ¡°We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon you.¡° God spoke through Jahaziel: ¡°Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the battle is not yours, but God's¡° (NIV).
For the child of God, trusting Him brings peace, joy and security. Fear and faith cannot live together. Trust the One who is your peace. |

Dear precious Lord, we are trading our fears for faith today. We repent and turn from worry and fear. Thank You, Lord, for being our strength, our righteousness, our comforter, our healer, our redeemer. How we praise You today for Your great love. In Jesus' beautiful name. Amen. - JOAN CLAYTON, Portales, New Mexico |
