Faith During a Threat
With the things going on in the world right now, there is a lot that we can be fearful of and feel threatened by. That is, we can enter into and allow fear to direct us, if we allow ourselves to.
Wars, economic difficulties, swine flu, and many other threats to our safety and the safety of our children are being thrown at us each minute of each day. I suggest you read Revelation chapter 6, and ask God to show you what is happening.
As far as being threatened and living in faith goes, that is also an each moment of each day thing. The main difference is, we have to build up our faith on purpose, and pray for ourselves, our children, and the rest of our families.
We also have a weapon to use to ward off the threat and the fear that may try to accompany it- the BIBLE!
One great chapter that you can pray over your family is Psalm 91. Take it for yourself, and apply it daily. That will help you stay in faith during a threat.
There are also many other scriptures that can be applied to your life. Finding one that pertains to your situation, whether it be healing, safety, income, salvation, or any other concern, is not difficult. There is even a website that may be just the tool you need to help you find a wod to stand on. http://www.biblegateway.com . It has a search tool that will allow you to look for a keyword that will be applicable.
Standing in faith in the midst of a threat will be what keeps us strong.
