Where There Is Faith... There Is No Fear

Where there is faith, there is no fear. When the circumstances around you are so overwhelming that you are afraid, remember that your faith has the power to change the circumstances, according to the will of God. So, do not give in to fear, but rather, exercise your faith with all your strength and God will change the circumstances, and if He doesn't, is because it isn't the best for you, but at that time you may not understand it. In that case, continue to exercise your faith and God will show you what He is doing in the perfection of His Purpose. There is much to learn from the passage of Jesus in the storm: As evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.”  So they took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds behind (although other boats followed). But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water. Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?” When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm. Then he asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?” The disciples were absolutely terrified. “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “Even the wind and waves obey him!” Mark 4:35-41 NLT
