Crushing Fear – Day 40 – Bold Faith

Faith laughs at the shaking of a spear; unbelief trembles at the shaking of a leaf.

— Richard Cecil —

Fact

As I’ve said many times, when it comes to faith in God, you are either in or out–there is no such thing as faith in-between.

Thought

Another fear I’ve witnessed with Jesus followers is the fear of being bold in faith. Being bold in faith means we live our lives with Him being first. Being bold in faith means we give Him all the glory when things go right and turn to Him for guidance when things go wrong.

When I figured this “God thing” out many years ago, I constantly leaned on Him. But, of course, depending on God doesn’t mean I expect my life to be perfect. God doesn’t always take away my challenges, but He always gives me the strength to overcome them.

Bold Faith Examples

Five years ago, I wrote a blog about the 2018 Super Bowl Champions, the Philadelphia Eagles, and their head coach and star players professing their faith in God to millions of TV viewers while being interviewed after their big win over the New England Patriots.

The same thing happened a few years ago after the Clemson Tigers defeated the Alabama Crimson Tide in the NCAA football championship game. The head coach and star quarterback credited God in their post-game interviews.

I love it when people are bold with their faith, as the enemy has no defense when people lead with their faith.

Questions

Do you have faith in God?

If so, are your life’s thoughts, words, and deeds reflective of this faith?

Hebrews 4:16, “Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”
