ARE YOU?

Faith Capsule: With worrying fear will rise, faith will sink.

Exodus 14

Is there a position for worrying and trouble in your mind?If you will give self to the warning in the word of God, there shall be no place for worrying to take charge of you.
Matthew 6:25 warns, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on…”
John 14:1 warns, “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.”
To be worried or troubled is against the warning of God.
When keeping eyes on confronting challenge one is set to sink into worrying or to become troubled. 
Are you beholding your challenge instead of looking up to God for His intervention?
Exodus 14:10-12 documents what it means to become worried by looking away from God, “And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them. So they were very afraid, and the children of Israel cried out to the Lord. Then they said to Moses, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you so dealt with us, to bring us up out of Egypt? Is this not the word that we told you in Egypt, saying, ‘Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the wilderness.” 
Does the word sound like you?
The Israelites could not look up to God for His intervention but were worried and gave to negative confession.
No one is with exception from worrying and trouble.
Despite all the teachings of Jesus against fear and worrying, once, His disciples worried when they gave to fear of the Jews. John 20:19 records, “Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, “Peace be with you.” While they were locked up in the state of fear, Jesus gained entrance with peace for His disciples.
With faith in Jesus, peace will reign in the place of fear.
With Jesus’ in place with His disciples, the eyes of their minds were opened to see the mark of crucifixion as the Bible states, “When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.” (John 20:20) 
With the mark of Jesus’ crucifixion, the disciples came out of worrying.
If you will begin to see the marks of crucifixion and believe that the marks were registered on Jesus, worrying and trouble will cease.

Prayer for today: Ask from God to bold with the character of His word not to give self to worrying.
