New Day: Fear or Faith?

Good morning.    This morning I was to "wait".    It is still morning and still a new day. 

Isaiah 40:31

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. KJV

The scripture from Isaiah 41:10-14 NIV

10So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

11“All who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced; those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish.

12Though you search for your enemies, you will not find them. Those who wage war against you will be as nothing at all.

13For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.

God does not give us a spirit of fear, Satan does.  We can not walk in faith and fear at the same time and follow Christ.  God constantly tells us not to fear for he is with us.   It is His promise to His people that he will never leave us.  We must be obedient, trust Him to claim the victory and give Him the glory.  Fear creates indecision.  Fearing failure can cause major damage to our lives, and missed opportunities. Forge ahead in difficulty with faith, reading, studying and obeying His Word.  Do not listen to the naysayers and jealous people.  Stand Bold and Fearless for Him, your life will be blessed. 

Romans 8:28

And we know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
