—King David
When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.
Last night I led a married men’s Bible study group in my home. Our focus point was how we as men can conquer fear. One of the brothers connected a Scripture on fear to his brother-in-law who’s battling Stage 4 liver and colon cancer.
The doctors have given him a limited time but, in spite of this, Joel is positive and full of faith, trusting that God will bring him through.
Sometimes as Christians we feel that we should never experience fear. But the truth is, fear strikes at all of us.
The Christian is not immune from fear, but he is greater than fear.
David—this same man that brought down Goliath—didn’t hesitate to admit that fear affected him at times. But, by turning his eyes from the situation to the Lord who had previously given him victory, he was able to find joy and consolation despite the circumstance.
We show the power of our faith by rising above the situation, confident that the God who rescued us from hell is more than able to deliver us from anything life throws our way… including cancer.
That is power.
