Fear

Why are you so fearful?  How is it that you have no faith?   ~  Mark 4:40 NKJV

What fear is holding you back?  What fear is dictating your behavior?  What fear is paralyzing you?  If you don’t face your fears you will never progress in God.  In this passage in Mark 4 the disciples were in a boat in the midst of a storm.  You have to understand that they were commercial fishermen, they fished for a living.  They understood storms and what they could do to boats out on the water.  So, when Peter woke Jesus up and told Him they were about to perish, he wasn’t exaggerating.  In the natural they were in trouble!

So what was Jesus upset about?  Why did He reprimand them?  It wasn’t because they weren’t in trouble.  It was because they failed to face their fear with faith.  So, what have you been fearful of lately?  What fear do you need to face down with faith?  Get ready to face that fear and use your faith, and your life will change for the better!
