FAITH CAPSULE: Having fear and no faith in God is the fuel of instability.

Psalm 34

A raging storm, expected or not, is always the center of every challenge that persists or resists and does not cease.
Having fear and no faith in God is the fuel of instability that offsets a victim of challenges.
In the face of challenges, give in trust and hope in God, which enables faith to rise for fear to sink.
Let the word of God, which never fails, uphold you always.
Psalm 34:19 encourages, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.”
Answering as living by the word of God (righteous) is not an exemption from experiencing challenges, but God shall deliver.
Fear is the orchestration of the devil.
Fear the work of the devil is to sink anyone who looks not in the word of God, which is the source of faith.
Job, a great man of God, testified, “For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me, and what I dreaded has happened to me.” (Job 3:25)
Job faced his challenge by looking outside of God, which would have upheld him against fear.
Imagine Job, a man terrified by God and yet looked out of God, to become a victim of fear that is not in God.
Job 1:8 records, “…Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?”
Without doubt, fear will always come with challenge, but having faith should be in place, knowing that “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.” (Psalm 34:19)
Imagine Job, a man of great stature in the hand of God, with challenges of fear, attempting to reduce him?
Are you with challenging fears?
Know to have trust and hope in the word of God for deliverance.
Psalm 107:20 encourages, stating, “He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.”
Without any doubt, the devil orchestrates or fuels challenges.
Imagine Peter sank in fear?
Peter walked with Jesus to observe miracles, yet allowed fear to overtake his life.
In the middle of the storm, Peter had fear.
When Jesus walked on the storm towards Peter and his disciples, Peter could not keep his focus on increasing his faith to walk with Jesus in the storm.
The Bible records, “…And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” (Matthew 14:29-30)
In the word of God, there is faith for deliverance, but looking into the face of fear, there is a way to sink.
What is your storm?
In your challenging fear is your storm.
Ignore the storm to embrace strength.
David encouraged himself in the word of God, and he stepped into his storm.

Prayer for today: Ask God to deliver you from the spirit of fear.
