There has been a crossing over to be done in my life: from fear to faith. Fear is caused by lack of control in one’s future and the instability of not being able to accurately predict a circumstance or reaction of those around them. Faith is evident when I recognize that my lack of control is not the final conclusion to my analysis, but that my lack of future predictability and its related certainty becomes God’s controlling point in my life. He shows me that all along the way my weakness has been felt not because of the powerlessness of my situation but because of the deception I have been trying to convince myself of…the deception that I must know all. I cannot. Strange to say, but I am powerless in my own life though it may appear otherwise when viewed from the outside. The one with the power is God; life apart from Him is not life at all but frustration and self-destruction.
Fear has confined and choked the enjoyment of life and experience with God. Faith liberates. My faith and Hope is in Christ. When I lose faith He keeps it alive. When I struggle with believing in the best from Him and for Him, He remembers and sees. He is my faith. He is never moving. Our rock. Hide me in the Rock, Oh Lord. Amen.
