“I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed.” (Psalm 34:4-5 NIV)

“For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” (2 Timothy 1:7 NIV)

F.A.I T.H.: Fantastic Adventures In Trusting Him. 

F.E.A.R.: False Evidence Appearing Real.

F.E.A.R.: Face Everything And Rise.

I was watching a movie yesterday, and they said the above acronyms for faith and fear. I got to thinking about them. I then looked for more online. I found another one for fear: Face Everything And Rise.

I have a grandson who did something he shouldn’t have. But he rose above it and isn’t looking back. I am so proud of him. He decided to: Face Everything And Rise. He has risen above where he was a year ago and doing so good now.

We all need to take a page from his book. When life throws us a curve ball, swing and knock it out of the park. We can’t face fear without faith. We need faith that will conquer all our fears. No matter what you are afraid of, build your faith and fight your fears.

Think about faith. The acronym is “Fantastic Adventures In Trusting Him.” I love adventures. And just think, if Jesus is with you, the adventure will be even better.

So, do you have faith? Or are you fearful? We don’t have to live with fear.

Remember, fear is “False Evidence Appearing Real.” But fear is also “ Face Everything And Rise.”

So when fear comes, remember the acronyms and rise above your fears.

Have a great day, everyone.
