“I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.” (Psalm 34:4-5, NIV)


The good fight of faith (cf. 1 Timothy 6:12) sounds easy, doesn’t it? One has to do nothing but just have faith; faith in the Lord that he will fight the battle for you. Simple, but it doesn’t seem that simple when our mind starts reasoning about it.


Everyone wants help in their time of need; someone on whom we could just cast our cares. We need an ear to hear, a heart to understand, a touch of care and compassion to tell us that it’s all going to be okay — someone saying, “I will handle this for you”. In times like this we become more vulnerable to the tactics of darkness which keep pointing out to us that nothing is okay and nothing is good for you. And so, we start to fear. Fear is a part of flesh, and it’s not that easy to run away from it, but the key is to keep the focus on the Lord as the only way to be saved.


Peter began to walk on water (cf. Matthew 14:22-33). He was okay till he lifted his focus away from Jesus and placed it on the water. He began to drown because walking on water didn’t make sense to his mind. Impossible situations get tackled as long as we remain focused on Jesus. It’s not about feeling the fear, but about keeping on in the Lord – trusting his plans for you. It’s always the Lord who has the last say, no one else.


The fight of faith is a good one! Why? because you’re leaning on the Lord and not on your own understanding. You’re trusting in your creator other than the creation. Greater is he who is in you than the one who is in this world (cf. 1John 4:4). Amen.
