Overcoming The Eyes Of Fear!

    Overcoming the Eyes of Fear

Exodus 14:13-31

    “And Moses said to the people’” Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord…

    Yesterday, the air was a cool and crisp and the skies were deep blue. I drove up to a gas station and as I was about to put some gas in my car, a young, tall skinny lady came up to me with a baby on her hip. She said to me,” Sir, I have no gas money can you help me!”

         There was a look of sadness and fear in her eyes.

         A deep sadness became over me and I was filled with compassion  and tears just whelmed up ,I said,” Sure” and I reached in and gave her nine dollars.

          “Thank you so much!” She replied and went into the gas station. There are so many families today, because of the bad economy that are losing their jobs and becoming homeless!

         My encouragement to them comes from these scriptures passages, The Israelites and Moses were on the run from the Egyptians armies, they came to the edge of the Red Sea and they became fearfull   and angry at Moses. Why? I believe they humanly saw no way out! They saw the enemy and lost their faith.

         Moses, whom had faith in God, spoke words of encouragement.

           First he said don’t be afraid, and then he said standstill and see the salvation of the Lord. He struck the rock and the waters parted and you know the rest of the story!

     The scripture states also Hebrews 11:29 “By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so drowned.”

          What is the difference? One saw and trusted in God, the other saw and trusted in their flesh!

          Dear friends, are you today, facing walls and walls of opposition, trials. Do not look at them with the eyes of fear but with the eyes of faith unto the Lord thy God!

          I face every day all sort of fears, but when they begin to get the better of me it’s because I have taken my eyes off Jesus. How do I know? I begin speaking words of fear and my family tells me because I have  become a complainer!

         Thanks be to God, whom when I cry out, “Oh! God forgive me! “He lifts me up, dust me and on my way I go.

  I "I know the way sometimes seems rough

       Hearts seem hard and bare

      but I walked with God this morning

   And it’s warm in there."

         God loves you, so today turn your eyes on Him, be not afraid, standstill and see the salvation of the Lord!

Lo Love,
