fear & faith...

something the pastor said on sunday that has been on my mind all week...

fear & faith do not co-exist...

so simple...and yet so profound...

i have to admit...it is easy to go the way of fear...and worry...and wondering how things will ever work out...but i have really made a conscious effort to notice when my fear creeps in...and as soon as that happens...wherever it happens...i quote..."trust in the Lord with all your heart...and do not lean on your own understanding...in all your ways acknowledge Him...and He will direct your paths" proverbs 3:5-6

i've been saying that a lot this week...but what i noticed...is how quickly fear can creep up on us...and start to consume our every thought...so i'll just keep quoting it...over and over...

this verse has helped...because it takes the focus off my situation...and makes the focus about the awesome God i serve...and what i've noticed...is in the midst of so much turmoil...i have this unbelievable peace...

do i understand how that can be? no...but i do know where it comes from...He remains by my side...24/7...
