Here’s how to choose faith over fear.

Choose Faith
over Fear

But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
Matthew 8:27 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/mat.8.27.KJV

Think about the disciples hanging out with Jesus on a boat when a life-threatening storm erupts on the water. They’re unprepared to face it and, panicking, realize they might die. The entire time this is happening, Jesus is sleeping peacefully.

Instead of looking at Jesus’ reaction to their situation, the disciples allowed their situation to dictate their reactions.

After begging Jesus to do something, He calms the storm… But not before asking them, “Why are you afraid?”

His gentle rebuke over their lack of faith wasn’t because they didn’t believe Jesus could save them from the storm, but because they struggled to believe He would see them through it.

When we find ourselves in storms we can’t control, how do we respond with faith? Here are three encouraging truths to remember:

1. God has power over every storm.

If the wind and waves don’t concern Him, then they shouldn’t frighten you. You might not be able to change your situation, but you can choose to faithfully trust God in the middle of it.

2. Fixing your eyes on Jesus leads to peace.

Are you looking at the size of the storm, or turning towards the One who can calm it? It’s only by focusing on God, who knows every outcome, that you can navigate any situation with His wisdom and peace.

3. Jesus is always in your boat.

It’s easy to focus on your fears when you can’t control your future. But thankfully, Jesus knows your future, and He’s always by your side. And, He calls you to live by faith, not by sight.

Whenever you find yourself overwhelmed by life, you always have two choices: you can focus on your circumstances, or fix your eyes on Jesus.

If you choose to look to Jesus above everything else, you will begin to see that the storms you face are not nearly as powerful as the Savior choosing to walk through the storm alongside you.

@comradeagle @CorneliusRye if I can get a real live anime girl harem, I'll be happy enough that I will cease the furry genocide.

@coldacid @CorneliusRye Be careful what you wish for, you'll get real furries.

@realcaseyrollins Actually, I will go ahead and mention my issue with Soap Box briefly.

A big one is when Gab forked Mastodon, they removed many features, like bookmarking, the multiple timeline view, delete and redraft, etc. They supplemented this with neat features like edits, quotes, a dedicated news site, groups, among some other things. But Gab paid no mind to how these things would play in federation, they end up being counterproductive in that context, so Alex removed basically all the unique Gab features without reintegrating what was removed from Mastodon. You're left with a product that is functionally the worst of both worlds in some respects.

That's not to say it's bad software, it isn't, and his branding focus is a common sense measure that Mastodon should have implemented a long time ago, but as a user, unless you're just in love with the UI there's no benefit of Soap Box over Glitch with simple timeline view. Even then, the UI is worse than Gab's tbh, even though it's mostly the same, there were a good few tweaks made, and they're mostly counterintuitive, especially on mobile. @freemo

@realcaseyrollins I'm not talking about Soap Box, which frankly, has a host of issues on its own, I'll go into those some other time. I'm talking about a guy who explicitly wanted his thing to be an alternative for Gab users, but didn't allow hate speech, and somehow didn't make the big brained connection that that would never fly with the Gab user base.

Not that I care, really. I'm not necessarily looking for a Gab alt, I'm using Gab and Glease because I'm supporting both with my wallet, and frankly if I don't use them I'll forget and I'll be charged until the end of time for something I don't use anymore. I'm just clumsy like that. @freemo

Tor browser performance is pretty good. I remember it being way slower around 5 years ago
