FEAR OR FAITH

 

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. (Philippians 4:6, NASB)

 

This story has been around for a long time so you may have heard it before. I think it is so appropriate today. An old Indian chief told his son that there are two wolves that live within us. One is full of fear and doubt that wants to destroy and kill. The other is filled with confidence, faith, and assurance. “Which wolf wins?” asked the young son. His dad said, “The one you feed the most.”

 

No matter what our tough times look like from one year to the next, we have a decision to make. Will we feed our fear or our faith?

 

Paul revealed the result of not being anxious or fearful in the very next verse: “And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7).

 

Peace, it’s a wonderful thing.  

 

God bless & protect all of you and your families! Please share any prayer request with us.
