By Chaplain Eddie Burchfield

In the scriptures we find-

Christians are to be one of a kind;

Not living scared of Satan or sin –

We have been set apart, Born Again;

Fear can be an Idol

Fear can be a lie –

Fear can make a big man

Hang his head and cry;

David said in Psalms 27:1

The Lord is my light, whom shall I fear –

When we believe God’s word

It builds our faith, and to God we draw near;

Yes it’s faith over fear

Not the other way around –

Because faith will build us up

And we can stand on solid ground;

Darkness has great power

But Jesus is the light –

Fear loses its hold on us

When we leave the darkness of the night;

Faith doesn’t have to be big

But it does have to be pure –

Having mustard seed size faith

Can help us all endure.
