Deep dives
Understanding Faith Amidst Fear
Faith does not imply the absence of fear but rather the choice to listen to faith despite fear's presence. The example of Moses and the Israelites showcases the struggle between fear and faith during the Exodus, where the Israelites questioned their decision amidst pursuing enemies. Moses was instructed by God to part the Red Sea, which required him to act on a prompting that seemed irrational given the circumstances. This illustrates the importance of making decisions based on faith, even when fear looms, as well as the necessity of trusting God to lead us through daunting situations.
