on fear and faith...

being 2 sides of the same coin. That's the gist I got out of this morning's sermon. Haven't been to church for 2 sundays lioa, because of reservist. It was great to be able to go to the house of my Father and worship Him with the rest of the people. Was ministered by the singing of songs, and meditation upon the lyrics. Today we were continuing on the Kadesh Barnea episode in Numbers Chapter 13 to 14.

Even as Pastor Ed was going through the sermon, I got a small bright light-bulb lit up inside my head as I listened. Fear and faith both involve the unknown, they are reactionary responses that comes naturally to man when they can't see the future. When you fix your eyes on the things of the earth, your response will tend to gravitate towards fear; when you see God at work, and remember His promises in His word, faith will arise.
