Hello beloved!

We know from Hebrews 11:6 that without faith, it is impossible to please Him, but that God rewards those who diligently seek Him. I believe that this is all of you, or you would not be reading this!

Another thing we know is that when we choose FAITH instead of FEAR, we can expect to be surprised. Job 5:9 says,

God is famous for great and unexpected acts and there’s no end to His surprises.

So, all through the day, we have a choice to either believe that God is for us; believe that He’s taking care of us, and believe that good things are in store for us, or we can go around worried, expecting the worst, and wondering if we are going to make it.

See, FAITH and FEAR have something in common: They both ask us to believe something is going to happen that we cannot see!

FEAR always demands us to believe the worst ~ Things like, “Ut oh, do you feel that pain? Your grandmother died from the same thing. This is going to be the end of you!”

FAITH says what God’s Word says, “This sickness is not permanent ~ it is only temporary, according to 2 Corinthians 4:18.

Here is the key: What we meditate on is what is going to take root! If we go around all day thinking about that fear, and let it play over and over in our minds, it can become our reality, and that is exactly what we are going to have.

Job 3:25 says, “The thing I greatly feared came upon me, and what I dreaded has happened to me.”

Always remember: FEAR will always try to dominate your thought life. If you allow it, FEAR will keep you awake at night ~ FEAR will steal your joy and it will steal your enthusiasm.

See, worry, FEAR, and wrong thinking are not just bad habits, they will actually allow the FEAR to come to pass.

Instead, just continue to thank God that He is fighting your battles for you (2 Chronicles 20:17). When you do this, situations will not only resolve in your favor, but it will turn out better than you could have imagined (Ephesians 3:20).

So, if we can just believe and trust God by FAITH in His Word, He will not only bring us out, He will bring us out better than we were before!

Walking in the faith of God,
