Faith or Fear = Fate

Many of us do not realize that faith and fear share some commonalities. Before you fall off your chair and start posting on Facebook take a moment to read my entire post.

In the book of Hebrews chapter 11:1 it reads

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen’

Hebrews 11:1

And my friend Daniel, he wrote a book called the Dictionary, defines fear as ‘an unpleasant often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger.’

In both cases it is the anticipation of an event or circumstance that has not taken place yet. Knowing that I would rather be fearsome than fearful… look it up and you’ll agree with me.

The best example of true faith is exampled by Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and their conversation with King Nebuchadnezzar about their faith in God and how God ‘could’ save them… did you get that?V

Verse 18 reads:

But even if he doesn’t, we want to make it clear to you, your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up.

Daniel 3:18

These 3 Hebrew boys knew both their faith and their fate, do you?
