~ Saying No ~

Psalms 27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I
fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be
afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came
upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. Though an
host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though
war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
Two hunters came across a bear so big that they dropped their
rifles and ran for cover. One man climbed a tree while the other
hid in a nearby cave. The bear was in no hurry to eat, so he sat
down between the tree and the cave to reflect upon his good
fortune. Suddenly, and for no apparent reason, the hunter in the
cave came rushing out, almost ran into the waiting bear,
hesitated, and then dashed back in again. The same thing
happened a second time. When he emerged for the third time, his
companion in the tree frantically called out, "Woody, are you
crazy? Stay in the cave till he leaves!"
"Can't," panted Woody, "there's another bear in there!"
Ever feel like fear is giving us the run around? Although there
are a lot of scary things going on in the world these days and
perhaps even in our own personal lives, God has not called us to
live in fear. He’s has called us to stand strong in His
confidence, knowing that He is in control!
He’s called us to live lives full of power, love and a sound
mind!
Dr. E. Stanley Jones said “I am inwardly fashioned for faith,
not for fear.
Fear is not my native land; faith is.
I am so made that worry and anxiety are sand in the machinery of
life; faith is the oil.
I live better by faith and confidence than by fear, doubt and
anxiety.
In anxiety and worry, my being is gasping for breath–these are
not my native air.
But in faith and confidence, I breathe freely–this is my native
air.”
Let's say no to fear! Let’s determine to put our hope in the
Lord once again today!

Some say that it is fear rather than doubt or unbelief that is
the opposite of faith.
"Faith, glorious victory that overcomes the world"
