Fear vs. Faith

Fear can grip the heart.  Fear clouds the mind.  Fear steals opportunities to experience God!  Fear steals the opportunity to experience awe inspiring moments.  Fear is debilitating.  It exhausts you mentally, weakens you emotionally, hinders you spiritually.  Operating in fear spoils what God intends for you to encounter.  

Operating in Faith will fill your heart with God's peace and you will overflow with joy.  Faith gives you courage to rely on God and trust Him when he invites you to experience extraordinary things.  Faith is confidence in God.  Faith strengthens your soul.  Faith calms your mind.  Faith renews your spirit.  

I don't want to live in fear any longer!  I choose to put my faith in God and trust that He will fight for me (Exodus 14:14).  I recently heard John Piper say, "Get alone with God and preach his word into your mind until your heart sings with confidence that you are new and cared for."
