Pure Glory

by Hazel Straub

Ever notice how fear will immobilize you? The more you think about whatever causes you to be fearful, the less you think about the greatness, faithfulness and love of God. You feed the fear and all rational thought exits.The key to living victoriously, is taking worry, anxiety and fear captive, replacing it with thoughts of how much God loves and cares for you. Don’t feed fear, instead think on God is your help and strength.

For though we live as human beings, we do not wage war according to human standards, for the weapons of our warfare are not human weapons, but are made powerful by God for tearing down strongholds. We tear down arguments and every arrogant obstacle that is raised up against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive to make it obey Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:3-5 NET)

The disciples were in a boat crossing the Sea of Galilee, during a storm. They got upset because Jesus was sleeping. They woke him up because they thought they were going to die, in the storm. He spoke to the storm and said, “peace be still.” It became calm-no more storm. He asked them why they were so fearful and had no faith. (Mark 38-40) We can speak like Jesus, when we are filled with faith (full confidence and trust that God is there for whatever you need). We trust him, as we speak to the storm. The victory of Jesus over the enemy of our souls, includes the storms. God provides his weapons (angels) that follow our faith-filled speech. Peace be still, no fear!
