41 And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?" Matthew 4:40-41
Faith is the opposite of fear. They cannot coexist in the same room together, they have nothing in common. Jesus being the son of God, was full of faith and he understood that fear is the enemy of faith. We must also walk in faith and not give in to fear. There are many opportunities to be afraid and yet Jesus calls us to stand strong and rebuke the storm.
Can you picture Jesus in your boat today in the midst of a raging storm? What position are you taking, are you staggering in fear or are you standing in the faith? We live in a world where fear controls the hearts and minds of men. The great enemy of our souls uses fear as one of his main tactics against us. Will you choose today to stand in faith no matter how big the mountain in front of you is? Will you choose to not waiver and doubt, but rather be bold and aggressively pursue the kingdom of God?
