Roosevelt<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"explore-free-to-respond-to-fear\" class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:500\">EXPLORE  |  Free to respond to fear<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It may go without saying, but with the topic of fear, I am sensing the need to remind myself that wisdom is a way of handling life, not avoiding it.  We can&#8217;t become so &#8216;wise&#8217; that we are able to avoid all the scary parts of life.  Wisdom is the means by which we navigate what God decides to allow&#8211;and intends to use&#8211;in our lives for our good and His glory.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That includes fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While being wise(r) will no doubt help us avoid a number of pitfalls and keep us from otherwise being foolish, fear actually plays a part in helping us avoid those things in life that are dangerous and should be avoided.  Wisdom recognizes that there are legitimate things we should fear, but we are not to, as FDR challenges us, fear the &#8220;nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Having faith in God&#8217;s provision or protection does not mean that it eliminates our fear. Nor is it blind acceptance of something you have not thought about or know nothing about \u2014 that is blissful ignorance.  It is not saying you believe something that you&#8217;re not actually acting on \u2014 that is hypocrisy. And faith over fear is not making decisions without any doubts or concerns of the outcomes \u2014 that is carelessness or foolishness.<\/p><cite>Robert Hampshire, Pastor of Worship and Discipleship at Cheraw First Baptist Church<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, we are to courageously step through &#8220;fear itself&#8221; to &#8220;convert retreat into advance.&#8221;  In one sense, fear can be empowering.  For without it, there would be no courage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was reminded of this while watching Chris Pratt&#8217;s new Amazon series <em>The Terminal List<\/em>.  So as to not give too much away, I&#8217;ll describe it this way: he&#8217;s a Navy SEAL returning home from a botched mission <em>extremely motivated<\/em> (read: raging revenge) to hold accountable everyone responsible for having anything to do with what happened to him, his team, and his family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the midst of his &#8216;new mission&#8217;, we are shown scenes of what he and his team experienced during that last fatal encounter together.  Where the terror they faced would have paralyzed anyone else, we see the very definition of courage.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear.<\/p><cite>Franklin D. Roosevelt<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Fear begs an answer to penetrating questions like, &#8220;what have you got?&#8221;, &#8220;how badly do you want it?&#8221;, and &#8220;is this really worth it?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because it is unavoidable and can paralyze us if not confronted, fear has to be faced.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how do we counteract the effect fear has to render us immovable?  Faith. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of&nbsp;things not seen.<\/p><cite>Hebrews 11:1<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>We need only consider two words in Hebrews 11:1 to put to rest the idea that faith is &#8220;a leap into the unknown just because it feels right.&#8221;  The words &#8216;assurance&#8217; and &#8216;conviction&#8217; mean that faith is our being convinced based on evidence.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, we can be confident because there is reason to be confident, not because we feel like we should.  To paraphrase Greg Koukl\/team at Stand to Reason, biblical faith is: &#8220;trust in God, based on knowledge, rooted in evidence.&#8221;  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"execute-developing-faith-over-fear\" class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:500\">EXECUTE  |  Developing faith over fear<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we look at developing faith over fear, Stand to Reason&#8217;s concise description is a good place to start.  They provide three principals we should understand more fully:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><em>Trust in God <\/em>&#8211; our conviction demands action and that means putting our trust in God.  That requires that we&#8217;re not &#8216;mostly&#8217; on board, but are fully committed to, and invested in, God.  And when it comes to the unknown, as Randy Alcorn describes, we are to &#8220;trust in the authority and credibility of the one who promised.&#8221;<\/li><li><em>Based on knowledge<\/em> &#8211; we have an understanding, not just a list of facts; a knowledge of the &#8216;why&#8217; that convinces us to make this commitment.  It would not be the case except for the understanding we have of the evidence.  <\/li><li><em>Rooted in evidence<\/em> &#8211; our knowledge and understanding are based on facts; information that can actually be verified and supported.  And in the case of God, a proven track record of faithfulness is fulling His word.  <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With that as a basis, there are a few more points we can add to that as we develop faith over fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"know-the-truth-and-believe-it\" class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:500\">Know the truth&#8230; AND believe it<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply knowing about something, even something that is true, will not be fruitful unless we believe it&#8211;that is, we have reason to believe, so we act.  In this case, we trust in God.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>With the Spirit to strengthen us, the Son to sympathize with our weakness, and the Father to care for us in all things, we have no cause for despair. <\/p><cite>Kevin DeYoung<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"the-strength-to-endure\" class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:500\">The strength to endure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing and believing is not a once-and-done proposition.  In Hebrews 12:3, it says we are to \u201cconsider him who endured such opposition for sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.\u201d  Jesus&#8217; persistence in &#8220;testifying to the truth&#8221; is our example and motivation for developing the strength to endure and not grow wearing in practicing faith in the face of fear.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>We must persistently train ourselves to know and live God\u2019s truth.

Let your ever-increasing faith in God demonstrate to those around you the &#8220;spirit of power, love, and self-control.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;So let us not be people who \u201cshrink back and are destroyed;\u201d let us be \u201cthose who have faith and preserve [our] souls\u201d (Hebrews 10:39). <\/p><cite>Robert Hampshire<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>A part of becoming wise means we are less likely to be fooled, at least not easily.  Once we accept the fact that facing things that scare us is inevitable, we must resolve to remain persistent in placing our trust in God.  In doing so, we will continually feed our minds the truth about the One whom we can always trust in the face of whatever we might fear so that we may &#8220;convert retreat into advance.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>___<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further reading:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/blogs\/kevin-deyoung\/of-faith-and-fear\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Of faith and fear<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.christianity.com\/wiki\/christian-life\/what-does-faith-over-fear-really-mean.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">What does faith over fear really mean?<\/a> <br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crosswalk.com\/faith\/spiritual-life\/5-ways-to-keep-faith-over-fear.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5 ways to keep faith over fear<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/bLv-2j\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wisdominallthings.com\/staging\/3400\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Wisdom-in-all-things-leadbox-wisdom-delivered.jpg\" alt=\"Sign up for the Wisdom In All Things Email\" class=\"wp-image-1040\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@gadiellv?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Gadiel Lazcano<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/s\/photos\/sad?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#8220;So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself\u2014nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.&#8221; &#8211; Franklin D.
