Feed Your Faith Starve Your Fears
Fight
the good fight of faith… I Timothy 6:12
• Famished. . .
• Hunger. . .
• Unfilled. . .
If you want to kill
something, cut off its food supply. I remember some years back when the doctor
told me I had a tumor. My first thought was: I just won’t feed it. I did the
research, and cut off its food source. The same can be done with our fears.
Worry feeds fear.
The
more you worry, the more your fears will lead you into an uncontrollable frenzy.
If you noticed, worrying can’t be contained—it continues to grow into a never
ending list of horrible terrifying, “What ifs.”
How do you get out of this death trap? Starve your fears by
feeding your faith with the Word of God. The more you read and speak the Word,
the more your fears will shrink from malnutrition. Fear cannot stand up to the
Word of God.
Fear and faith are incompatible in the same space.
Personally, I hate the way worrying makes me feel—physically.
Worrying has no productive purpose other than to swindle me out of my faith. Throughout
the years, I’ve learned to ask myself as soon
as I realize I’m worrying: “Are you worried about “this”? If my answer is
yes. I tell myself—“Drop It!” I fill the void with Scriptures, or sometimes I
will just call on, JESUS!!!!
Unchallenged torment, will
become your reality.
Whenever
fear creeps back in,
Feed it another helping of Faith.
