Face Fears

There could be a lot of things in your life that cause you to fear. New situations, conflict, arguments. The list could go on forever. As a Christian, I'm given a choice to either face my situation head on or frolick away. When I was younger I would face anything head on, borderline cocky. After returning from HA I knew that nothing could stop me. I had a high level of faith. I could fight anything.

I saw this picture this morning and really glanced over it and thought about how many situations I've faced in my own life and fled our fought. With getting older and living in the world we live in, you start to form a large sense of negativity. The world brings you down. There isn't a lot of good streaming around. 

When you watch A baby learn to walk they tend to have slight hesitation, but not much. There is a healthy fear of what could happen. But the more they face their circumstances the better they get at walking. Fighting gravity isn't easy but if they gave up they would never walk and stay on their butt all their life. 

Steven Furtick had this on Facebook last night. "I wounder what blessings are unlocking for your future because you refuse to quit in your current battle." It could go the other way too. If you forget everything and run you will see those blessings remain locked up. Its like someone getting you a birthday gift but you can get it because you didn't earn it.

When faced with opposition and fear how do you react? Forget everything and run or face everything and rise?
