2020 has been an unprecedented year. The trials have come like a tsunami. The flood waters of misery have not subsided for many. Millions world wide wake up everyday to fear. Fear of the Corona Virus. Fear of the unpredictable economy. Fear of the eventual outcome of the presidential election. Fear of what unknowns are ahead in 2021. Fear of the stores running out of toilet paper and food.
I say enough of fear. Faith forward. No matter what the coming days hold we should approach those days with faith forward reliance on God. Fear discourages. Fear paralyzes people in states of anxiety, stress and depression. Faith forward thinking promotes hope, peace and courage.
As we endure the last month of a very challenging year, fear mongers prey on anxious Americans. They predict a dark winter, a bleak future and the new normal. I say trust God, believe Him for better days, rest reassured in His faithfulness, confidently and courageously face the battles of each day. Put your faith forward in front of all fears and anxieties.
Faith forward living is essential. Faith forward living sees things from God's perspective. We never know when God is going to step into our circumstances and do something amazing, bewildering, dumbfounding and astounding. Remind yourself anew of things God did in the Old and New Testaments. Encourage your faith with the vitamin supplements of scripture, biographies and listening to the testimonies of others. Faith forward living is essential now.
