Fearless: God Above and Below

“We must stay focused on God’s character and promises… and in that focus faith grows, and in that faith we are empowered to fight the fear…

So today remind yourself who God is… If you are in Christ every battle you face you walk into it with air superiority… We serve that God that rains down hail stones on the enemies of Israel… Who’s prophets call fire from Heaven… Who’s returning soon and will riding the clouds…

But God is not just God of the mountaintops and the Heavens… but he’s the God of the valleys…

The idea is: God’s arms are underneath you at the bottom… No matter how deep the valley we walk through is… God’s presence is deeper… and His arms are underneath you when you come to your bottom….

This is the God that desires to walk with you until the world ends…

Do you see the depth of God’s care for us… He is above us, He is below us, and He is with us… If you are in Christ you are covered…

We can know this in our head as a fact we should hold as true… but the real question is, do we have the faith to believe it enough to put our trust in Him and His truth…

Jesus prays the most important thing, the thing Simon Peter needed the most… “that your faith may not fail” … This is also the most important prayer that we can pray for ourselves and others… our situations can be difficult, and consistently changing, but our faith in those situations can remain the same…

We must be courageous. if fear rules our lives we will not step out in faith and fulfill God’s desires in our lives…

So in these strange times stay focused on Christ… remember who God is (above, beneath, with)… have faith in that truth… and keep reach to this world in love…”
