“Faith
vs. Fear” was the topic of discussion on our October Saved M.O.M. conference
call. We decided to discuss this topic for several reasons. The primary reason
being that it seems that there are so many times that we, as believers, allow
our fear to override our faith. We often choose to allow the naysayers and
negative energy around us to overshadow our God given right to faith in all
things. It is vitally important that we make an intentional decision every day of our lives to walk in faith and not fear. It’s so easy for us to get caught up in the constant negativity portrayed by the media and our society, however, we have been blessed with the ability to live our lives in a faith based mode and not in a fear based mode. We simply have to make the choice to choose faith and not fear, life and not death!
In addition, as parents, we have
a higher obligation to do so because we have smaller eyes watching our every
move. We want to exemplify this practice of walking in faith and not fear to
our children as often as possible. Even if your kids are older, they are still
influenced by your actions. So let’s display the best example for them of what
God intended us to be.
Now don’t misunderstand the text,
I know that we all face times in our lives in which we experience fearful
situations, for which the outcome looks bleak. However, we can’t always go by
what we see, we must live by our faith… “For we live by faith, not by sight.” (2 Corinthians 5:7). Therefore, we should choose to
make a conscious effort every day to walk by faith and watch
what happens!
We
would love to hear how you have chosen faith over fear in your life! Post your
