Christians' Facing Fear

Fear is one factor that can confuse the Christian faith. Yes, even Christians have their own fear, they have a darkside that are hidden into a place one could not possibly take away except of course by God's hand. But there is a way we can go beyond and learn from it. We can do so because He gave every human being strength and that strength of a Christian is not a temporal one but it is a strength that will carry them in any kind of situation that fear can manipulate. It is an eternal blessings.

There are other explanations of course that were given but each one of them are lacking the actual explanation that deals with the main dilemma of fear, but I can say that they are not as prominent today, and space forbids further exploration.
We have always marveled on why God allows us to go through certain fear and undergo a certain painful circumstance. I say, just because we find it difficult to imagine such reason God may have, it does not mean that no such reason exists.

Because of the limitations of the human perspective, we are only able to see a few apparent threads of the great tapestry of life and of the will of God (if you believe in God). Even though we do not have the full grasp of the picture to view it. That is why God have called us to trust Him. For a believer, God has a reason for allowing painful circumstances to come our way – even if we cannot grasp it – by this, our fears involves drawing us closer to Him.

This question about fear may always be occurring from us. This will not be the only time we might be asking but expect our selves to keep on repeating the same question again and again. But the thing to consider is in what we do to get over this fear and how to get our satisfaction answered and only by putting our trust in Him. We may say, “It is sound silly, if He is a good God, why he needs us to feel this fear.” Yes, we could say that because we are subjected to it to question God, and we all do. We may not understand that purpose in the “temporal NOW”, but however exists – our inability to discern why we fear sometimes happen to us and does not disprove God’s benevolence, it merely exposes our ignorance.

As God is the author of life, and He is also the author of hope – hope will go above fear and all its blessings flow from Him.

No matter how mysterious life seems to acquire, there are always possibilities.

Psalms 36:9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
