“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

(Isaiah 41:10 ESV)

“When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.”

(Psalm 56:3 ESV)

I saw this while scrolling the internet. Ok, yes! It was Facebook. 

“F-E-A-R has two meanings: 

Forget Everything And Run 

or 

Face Everything And Rise. 

The choice is yours.”

I chose option two. I choose to face everything and rise. Animals and humans have fight or flight instinct installed in us. When we get scared, we tend to lean towards flight. But we have a mighty warrior on our side. All we need to do is say get them, Lord. And then help fight whatever. We have no need to fear because God is for us, not against us. With Him on our side, we can’t lose.

God is ready, able, and willing to fight for us. He will fight our battles for us. We just need to let Him.

So many times, we give our battles to God to fight, but then we snatch it out of His hands before He has a chance to do battle. We need to learn to be patient and let God work. 

Have a great day, everyone.
