9 The Lord said to Paul in a night vision, “Don’t be afraid, but keep on speaking and don’t be silent. (Acts 18:9 CSB)

It is easy to succumb to fear and negativity. There is so much going on in the world right now that has people down and fearful.

Yet, like Paul, we need to recognize that God is with us.

The Spirit within watches all that is going on in our lives and provides comfort we may not even realize we are receiving.

Each element of our lives creates opportunity for either fear or faith. The more often we rely upon faith and push fear aside the stronger we get. We learn to rely upon the Lord and push the enemy back. Each day becomes an opportunity and not a burden.

But we must begin by choosing faith over fear.
