” The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.”(Exodus 14:14)

I have to tell you that I really had a hard time with this particular theme for the day. But then I received the above verse from a friend, and it was like God was nudging me to say,
” This is in MY hands Angie, Just do what you do, and I’ll take care of it.”
Its easy to forget, its so easy to forget that God will ultimately take care of our situations the way He sees fit.
We forget regardless of where we are…who has control.
I have to be reminded sometimes, more times than not really lately.

But here’s the thing though, ” 30 days of Faith” is based on exactly that, and for me since before this project began,
I have had my own moments of testing, and teaching. They haven’t been all that fun, but I do know that whatever I am to learn from all this, its for a greater purpose then I can see.

I know that I just have to remain strong, I just have to remember who really is God, and who really is NOT.

I think once we are finished with ” 30 days of Faith” that I am going to do a series of post on spiritual warfare.
Regardless of what you believe; I KNOW you can tell that there is something in this world that tries to beat out the good.

And that thing is something that I tries to get us where we are the weakest.

In order to fear less, we have to not be so faith-less. We have to be people who can get up in the morning and remember it really is a new day, and that anything that comes in our path, God KNOWS it was going to happen.

I love this next guest blog post by my friend Sandra Dobbins. Sandra is just an adorable person, I met her through blogworld, and she is just so encouraging. She has a heart of gold who just has no problem sending a Beth Moore study to someone across the nation, just because she thought they could use it. She is self-less, and people like her are a lot better at handling fear in my own personal opinion, because the more humble we are, means the less pride we have, and the less ammunition for the enemy to use against us. But anyway, take a look at her post, its short, but oh so perfect:)

I do not know where I heard this from but it has always been my
stance on faith.
I look at faith quite literally like my shield. And just like in the days
of Christ a soldiers shield was everything to him.
If he came back from battle without it he was considered a failure, a disgrace to his family.
If he died in battle he was carried out on his shield.
At the end of the battle the commanding officer would have all the men display their shields
and the soldier with the most darts and arrows on his shield was paraded
through the town as the most couragous.
My shield of faith is just like that, sometimes its the only covering I have at night, sometimes its my
only friend, but in the end I know when I drag my shield up that road
covered in darts it will be a gift to lay at His feet.
