Are You Standing Still and Staying In Faith or Are You Cowering in Fear?

What if it doesn't happen?  What if it doesn't work out the way "you" have planned?    Will you still trust God and believe God?  Will you still stand and stay in faith or will you cower and give up?   To cower means to crunch down in fear.   We have to learn how to stand on and under the word of God.   We have to realize that the word of God is a strong foundation and a shield of protection.   

Understand ... LIFE HAPPENS and in life we will encounter both good and bad.   We have to learn how to respond to life instead of reacting to it.   Reactions are based on feelings and emotions.  Whereas, responses are based on knowledge and understanding.    We have to learn how to respond based on our knowledge and understanding of who God is and what He has said.    Our emotions fluctuate, which in turn can cause our faith to fluctuate if we are living a reactionary life.   

It's time to trust God and to believe God.   We have to stay in God's Word so that we can be full of His Word, so that when situations come against our lives, we will already have knowledge and understanding and be able to give a word response to our situation and not cower in fear.    

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION
Isaiah 41:10
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
