TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
|
|
Fear is exaggerated. It can
be overwhelming. It always takes you to the worst-case scenario. Fear is like
a fog. It will always cloud the truth. It tries to make you stumble. It tries
to block your vision and keep you from seeing the good plan God has on the
road up ahead.
So how do you lift the fog of
fear? In the Bible, God led the Israelites toward their Promised Land with a
cloud by day and a cloud of fire by night. It was the cloud of His glory. The
cloud of His glory is where you’ll find joy, strength, peace, love and
protection. It’s where you’ll find vision and direction. It will keep you on
God’s path. Scripture tells us today that when we worship, He inhabits the
praises of His people. He brings His glory into our midst. When God shows up,
the enemy has to flee. When the cloud of His glory is present, it burns up
the fog of fear.
Today, if you feel like
you’re in a fog of fear, stop and get into the cloud of His glory. Put on
some worship music and turn your heart toward the Father. When you praise
Him, He shows up and lifts the fog of fear so you can clearly see the good
plan He has in store for you!

When the going gets tough do we abandon our God – do we jump ship because we are “going through” The answer is NO , as Christians we must keep the faith – even when it does not look good or feel good – you have to know its working for the good – you must learn the lesson – the season of testing – your harvest season is over – it’s time for reaping your reward – you stood the good fight - they lied on you, they cheated on you, they ignored you, your finances fell so below it’s a wonder you are still standing- and yet through it all you kept harvesting and trusting – storing up on his word and planting good seeds. The bible says : Ecclesiastes 3:1-22 - For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to pl...
