Faith And Fear

Faith versus Fear. Faith wins! Fear is the opposite of faith. We must use faith to combat fear. Fears take hold of us and paralyze us from taking action. We fear so many things: the unknown, the future, death, the dark, destruction, evil, failure, etc. The list is endless. Faith in God will calm our fears. When the disciples of Jesus were caught in a violent storm and feared for their lives, The Bible says the following. Mark 4:39,40 - He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, "Quiet! Be still!" Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. He said to his disciples, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?" When fears try to grip our hearts and we are terrified, must call on God with faith knowing He is present and powerful to take control of any and every situation we may face. There are many fears we presently face, but we must remember that God is with us and for us. We will be OK. Do not give in to fear, Have faith.
