Faith Over Fear - Inspire A Fire

Fear over faith or faith over fear?

You choose.

Fear says: Life changes.

Change hurts.

I’ll stay where I am.

God says: Chance change.

Grow through pain.

I’m with you all the way.

Fear says: No risk,

no failure.

No need to rock the boat.

God says: Extend yourself,

and if you fail,

I’m here to pick you up.

Fear says: People hurt you.

Evil reigns.

Don’t let yourself get close.

God says: Yes, people hurt you.

Sin’s in the world.

That’s the reason I came.

“Fear not, for I am with you;

be not dismayed, for I am your God;

I will strengthen you, I will help you,

I will uphold you with my righteous right hand”

(Isaiah 41:10 ESV).
