Fear not their fears

 

Text: Mark 4:40 (KJV)

And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have not faith?

Friends, fear is a torment that confronts us daily. So, fear which is a terror and unpleasant emotion caused by a threat on something to be dangerous can limit one from soaring high. It is always an anticipation that comes with worries, so we must learn relaxation in our mental and physical feeling as to avoid the negative outcome. 2Tim.1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear: but of power and of love, and of a sound mind. It is a spirit and we can deal with it by the word of faith which is the spirit of faith. The opposite of fear is faith which is absolute confidence in the word of God.  And this is the root, if not the major source to overcome the grip of fear today.

Unfortunately, when we are confronted with fear, it robs us our joy and peace if we allow it to overwhelm us. It is a huge setback and we can deal with the influence. But, how we respond to genuine loss, is vital so we can manage it before it lives us with negative outcome.  Prob. 29:25 The fear of man bringeth a snare, but whoso puth his trust in the Lord, shall be safe. Some of the common things we are afraid of are loss of job, loss of loved ones, concerns for children or facing illness, fear of what to eat and drink etc. But the way out is turning to the bible as our source of strength and comfort. Therefore, we should be rest assured of God’s unending love and his promises of divine peace despite the prevailing situations around us. So, I encourage us to live intentional with faith in God’s word as to overcome worries and anxiety in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1)       Father, may we experience a power filled faith in the word of truth as to stand oppositions in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, anxiety can oppose your confidence in the truth.
