There are two versions of truth to every situation. In a situation that has turned bad, we look at it first through eyes of fear. At that point, we can decide to face down the fear and fight or run to a place that feels more secure or safe. Every situation has two sides and two outcomes. One is of hope to return to something call normal and the other is of despair that leads to something or someone dying. What you decide to do with and in your situation is determined either by faith or fear.
Fear tells you the situation is hopeless and there is no need to continue fighting. Fear is the dark shadow land that works to get you so far down in despair that you cannot see the light (truth). Fear ultimately will take over to cripple you mind, body, spirit and soul. Fear weakens you until you cannot fight physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually.
Faith is a light of hope. Faith tells you no matter how big the giant is, all giants come under the authority of God Almighty. Faith tells you that He who lives in you is greater than He who that is in and of this world.
“Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” — 1 John 4:4, ESV
We all, at some time or another, will end up in troubled waters and storms. Our outlook on the situation will determine the outcome of the situation. Decided if you will fight and retreat in the corner. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Life is a journey; not a destination". I bet he read the Bible to understand that we are on a pilgrimage in this earth. Vessels used to fight the unseen spiritual war for souls until the return of Christ. Each day we have an opportunity to be ministers of the Gospel of Peace, warriors like David who fought against Goliath, leaders like Noah and Moses who through hearing and obeying were blessed and blessed the land with generations of believers who followed them.
Speak peace to every storm or situation and fight so that onlookers will see, understand and gain hope through your actions, as well as know who you are in the Kingdom. But first, know who your and whose you are if you decide to fight for your life. You are a child of the Most High God and a joint-heir with Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:17, Ephesian 3:6, Hebrews 11:9, 1 Peter 3:7)
"But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ." — Philippians 3:20, ESV
