Week 114: Feed Your Faith Starve Your Fears



                              Feed Your Faith Starve Your Fears
                                          Fight the good fight of faithI 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.
