Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
Isaiah 41:10 NKJV
Relying on faith in God in times where fear can hijack your heart, mind, soul, and body is a challenge many of us fall short at. Fear can, and often does, skew or judgment and perception of what is in front of us. The prototypical example of this is the interaction of Jesus and Peter on the lake. Peter sees Christ out in the middle of the lake, and Jesus calls him to come and meet him. Due to fear hijacking his entire being, Peter soon begins to seek as he tried to make his way to Christ.
The moral of the story is this: faith in Jehovah, YahWeh, through Christ and the Holy Spirit working within you must be the strongest part of us. Our intellect, athleticism, relationships with people, and so on can easily be distorted or deranged based on circumstances. Put God first, for He is bigger than all our problems, boys, cares, and fears combined. Put your hand in His hand and He will see you through. But, we must do so wholeheartedly our we will be no better than Peter on the lake.
Walk tall but humbly in our unshakeable faith, and watch life fall into place.
Father, we are fallible in every aspect of our existence. However, you have given us faith through Christ and the Holy Spirit. This faith can move anything that is in our path to you. Teach us individually how to increase and strengthen this gift. This I ask in Your Son's name......Amen!
