Facing Fear 5

By: Ron Edmondson Mustard Seed Thoughts

"I am God, the God of your father," he said. "Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there. Genesis 46:3 NIV

Throughout Jacob�s life he allowed God to speak truth into his life that kept him from allowing fear to control him. Jacob was obedient to God because he shifted from fear to faith.

All of us will have fear. It began with the fall and, since we still live in a fallen world, we still are subject to fear. We shouldn�t stress over the fact that we become afraid when we are facing something that seems beyond our abilities or when the outcome of the situation is unknown. That�s natural.

To counter our nature we must do the spiritual. We must place our faith in something�really SOMEONE�who has the power and ability to accomplish what appears to be the impossible. That someone, of course, is the Creator God. When we place our trust in God, He takes our inabilities and turns them into abilitie s. Then, working all things towards an ultimate good, He works through our situations and circumstances to bring about His final plan. Our job in all this is to be obedient; in spite of our fears; by placing our complete faith in Him.

What is that fear that has your stagnant right now? Perhaps you need to move from fear to faith! Turn your fear into a complete and total trust in the person of God. Then watch Him do His miracle work and transform your situation into a glorious tribute to His power and strength.

Let me give you an easy 4 steps to begin this process:

1)Admit your fear; 2)Reclaim your faith; 3)Obey completely. 4)Repeat steps 1 through 4.
