Faith The Greatest Power In The Wprld

E.stanley Jones gave some wonderful advice regarding faith and fear.

I am inwardly fashioned for faith, not for fear. Fear is not my native land; faith is. I am so made that worry and anxiety are sand in the machinery of life; faith is the oil. I live better by faith and confidence than by fear, doubt and anxiety. In anxiety and worry, my being is gasping for breath--these are not my native air. But in faith and confidence, I breathe freely--these are my native air. A John Hopkins University doctor says, "We do not know why it is that worriers die sooner than the non-worriers, but that is a fact." But I, who am simple of mind, think I know; We are inwardly constructed in nerve and tissue, brain cell and soul, for faith and not for fear. God made us that way. To live by worry is to live against reality. (Dr. E. Stanley Jones.)

So in closing ask yourself,

Am I walking by faith?

Am I believing when I don’t see it?

obeying when I don’t understand it?

giving when I don’t have it?

persisting when I don’t feel like it?

thanking before I receive it?

trusting if I don’t get it?

Or, am I allowing the pressures of life, work, and the world to hinder my obedience and thus not walking by faith?
