Faith vs Fear...

Look at these different versions of the quote about fear:

"Courage is not the absence of fear, it’s just deciding that fear isn’t calling the shots anymore" (Bob Goff)

"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear" (Nelson Mandela)

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something is more important than fear. The brave may not live forever, but the cautious do not live at all" (Meg Cabot)

Does one of them speak to you more clearly?

If you wrote your own quote... what would it say?

Hebrews 11:6 says:

“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”

Matt says, “Getting on with the call on your life starts with a leap of faith, and then involves heaps more leaps of faith!”

Let's reflect...

Can you think of a time when fear kept you from doing something you really wanted to do?

Can you think of a time when FAITH helped you move forward into something that looked hard or impossible?

Prayer...

Be honest with God about fear and faith in your life. Ask for His help.
