Faith over Fear

This phrase took on it’s own momentum in the past year. While some people used it to shame other people for being concerned about their family’s health, I think there is value in revisiting what this phrase should mean to us.

First. Our faith is not in ourselves, our own effort or creativity. Our faith is in the One who holds the world in His hands.

Also, fear itself isn’t all bad. If it wasn’t for fear, I wouldn’t be careful while near a steep cliff on my mountain bike. We need a little fear to keep us out of trouble.

Maybe we can all agree on this: I don’t know what the future holds, but I know who holds the future! It’s not that I’m bigger than anything life can throw at me, but my Lord is!

“They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord.” -Psalm 112:7
