They promise freedom, but they themselves are slaves of sin and corruption. For you are a slave to whatever controls you.
2 Peter 2:19
Brothers and sisters let us look at what controls us.
“No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other.
Matthew 6:24
The ground between both masters could not be any further apart. The two are diametric. You cannot serve both. It is your choice. No one can make it for you.
Today I want to concentrate on faith and fear. Faith is define in Hebrews as the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Now fear is the opposite of faith. Fear is the substance of things we dread. Both are at odds with each other. In fact John writes that there is no fear in love and you need faith to love.
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.
Hebrews 11:6
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
Joshua 1:9
Global storms are brewing but standfast in faith. Don't be afraid to speak out or take a stand, for God is with us wherever we go or whatever confronts us.
Let our faith envelop our Almighty Father.
Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
Deuteronomy 31:6
Stay strong, amen.
