Faith Capsule:\u00a0<\/strong>Do not misplace focus on God to deny fear of the confronting challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exodus 14<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One that cannot see deliverance in the word of God denies self from gaining the intervention of God.
To become worried and troubled in the face of challenge is the evidence of not looking up to the help of God.\u00a0
When keeping eyes on confronting challenges, one will misplace focus on God.\u00a0
Are you beholding your challenge or looking up to God?
The looking away from God by the Israelites challenges records in\u00a0\u00a0
Exodus 14:10-12<\/em><\/strong>,\u00a0\u201cAnd when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them. So they were very afraid, and the children of Israel cried out to the\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Lord. Then they said to Moses, \u201cBecause there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you so dealt with us, to bring us up out of Egypt? Is this not the word that we told you in Egypt, saying, \u2018Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians\u2019?\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>
For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the wilderness.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0
Does that sound like you?\u00a0
The Israelites knew fully well that God would not fail to deliver them, but they gave themselves into fear.
The Israelites could not lift their eyes to God for help but gave themselves to negative confession.
The solution to challenges demands focusing on God by keeping His proven word, His word that is perfect to perform.\u00a0
Despite all the powerful teachings of Jesus against fear and worrying,\u00a0the disciples locked themselves up in fear of the Jews.
John 20:19<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0records,\u00a0\u201cThen, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, \u201cPeace be with you.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0While the disciples were locked up in a state of fear, Jesus showed up and declared peace.
Jesus, the Word of God, is the Prince of peace.\u00a0
One that will look up to Jesus as Lord and Savior, Jesus is always around to uphold such.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0
Faith in Jesus will cause peace to reign.\u00a0\u00a0
Jesus spoke peace into the life of His disciple to see the mark of crucifixion.\u00a0
John 20:20\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>states,\u00a0\u201cWhen He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Seeing the mark opened up the disciples to come out of fear.\u00a0
Begin to see the marks of crucifixion and believe that marks were registered on Jesus for all to have life abundantly.\u00a0
When faith is activated, fear will not have a place.
The challenges of the word will not have a place in one with faith in God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
