FAITH AND FEAR
January 12, 2014
He was a man of faith they said
As they said their last goodbyes
We know he rests with God
and is in a better place
Faith in something bigger and faith in the God who made you
Faith carries so many people through
The tribulations of earth life
Inevitably coming our way
And yet we use faith in so many less meaningful ways
We have faith that our teams first starter will win his playoff game
and we have faith that the 5:20 will arrive sometime very near to 5:20
and that the pilot on Flight 43 got plenty of sleep last night
and that every driver on every road that my 16 year old drives on today
will stay where they belong
But all of those lesser faith plans are only wishes
All faith stems from faith in God
Only then can you have the faith that fends off fear
