Faith Beats Fear
All too often people let their fear drive their decision making. We live in a culture where if something seems too hard or it’s not what we desire then it’s encouraged that we “follow our heart” or “do what makes you happy”
So what’s the result. We quit, give up, move on, or run away. Nothing ever gets solved. We never see if it was something we could’ve accomplished. Worst of all, we miss out on possible blessings that could’ve been waiting within and at the end.
Fear is one of Satan’s greatest weapons. If he can keep us fearful then it clouds our judgment and keeps us distracted and pulled away from God.
How do we overcome Satan and his devices, like fear?
Faith.
We take the reliance off of ourselves and put it fully on God. We trust Him to provide the strength and wisdom we need and we seek Him diligently through His word and prayer to find it. We stop trying to be in control and we submit to Him, in doing so our adversary, the devil, will flee from us. (James 4:7).
Faith beats fear every time.
James 4:7
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
