Faith over Fear

I picked up my dad‘s devotional tonight, opened at random and was reading about faith. I came across several notes my dad had made, likely when he was preparing a sermon. 

What he had written was all about how fear is the opposite of faith. How great it is to know my God is not the author fear and chaos. He is faithful to His promises. 

The one phrase that stood out most is how he wrote, “don’t let TV news create fear.” This is a good reminder to me these days because there is evil everywhere and at times it can produce fear in my heart. This was a reminder that God is in control.

It’s true, there is nothing the corroborates God’s promises, mostly it’s just blind faith. It’s blind faith in The One who can be trusted. 

You can’t see the wind but you can see what the wind does. 

Anyway...so many thoughts in my head tonight....

I’m thankful for a dad who taught me faith over fear.
