Do You Have Faith Or Fear?

Greetings and Blessings!!!

I hope you all are doing well. It is the middle of the week and I hope that everyone's week is going well thus far. The month of October is almost done with just have one more week left to go. There is still time for you to set out and accomplish whatever short-term or long-terms goals that you have for yourself. If there is something that you have been wanting to do take a leap of FAITH and do it! You will never know something unless you try. I so love this image because it is stating to have FAITH IN HIM! It is such a powerful image and message to get across to everyone. Despite whatever may be going on in your lives, you can always have faith in him. We can't be consumed with FAITH and FEAR. It is one or the other but it can not be both!! So what is "it" that is holding you back? What is "it" that you can't put your complete trust and faith in God? Why is it so hard to let "it" go?

Do you really and I mean really trust God? Do you trust him enough to believe that he will do just what he said he would do? Are you tired of waiting for him to answer you or show you a sign, and that is when you take matters into your own hands? Are you showing patience, having an attitude of gratitude, and being obedient? Are you truly surrendering yourself to him? I had difficultly with these questions in the past. Because, I said I had faith in God but there was always that spirit or feeling of fear in the back of my mind. That was telling me that whatever I was wanting at the time I should be able to have it now and that I shouldn't have to wait. Or that feeling of, is God really going to bless me with what I just prayed and asked him for. Because I am not "worthy" of what I just prayed to him about.

God didn't give us the spirit of fear. He wants us to have faith in him during the good and bad times. How we handle things when situations and circumstances come about is a true testament to our faith. Will we rise above it or sink with the ship? Because just as the seasons change for the weather so does the seasons change in our lives. Whatever season you are in right now, it will come to an end. But this is your preparation time, your shaping and molding time to get prepared for what is to come. Do you have faith in him that he will get you to where he wants you to be? Do you have faith in him that he will do just what he said he would do? Do you have complete faith in him? Are your actions and the words that you speak saying that you have faith in him? Or are your actions and the words that you speak saying that of fear and defeat?

Be Blessed
