Fear and Faith

photo from William Conk~sunrise on Long Island

Fear is a thief; faith is a rewarder. Fear questions and retreats; faith takes the things God has promised and moves forward. Fear lets the inheritance we have in Christ go unclaimed; faith takes hold of its possessions. Fear quivers; faith fights. Fear says, "later"; faith says, "now." Fear is defeat; faith is victory. Fear tears us down; faith moves us up. Fear says, "how?"; faith says, "God!"

Look, the LORD your God has set the land before you; go up and possess it, as the LORD God of your fathers has spoken to you; do not fear or be discouraged. Deuteronomy 1:21
