FACE

Shio Shio Gai Loti Entry #12

God has made everything beautiful in its time.

We were all given a beautiful FACE by God for a reason.

In Ezekiel 1:4-28, it mentioned about Ezekiel's vision about the four faces of God which represent God as King, Servant, Man and Holy God.

In this entry, you will also find out about 4 FACES.

Face, in its simplest is the front part of the head, from the forehead to the chin.

Face also means - to be opposite to, or to meet or accept boldly.

Time to time there would be situations popping up in life that are above our control. We all face different challenges, obstacles, fears, dislikes here and there. To put it simply, everyone of us have our own set of problems and issues where we are battling to obtain victory almost every other day. The matter of fact is there would be some areas, people, things, problems or even truths that we refuse to accept and do not want to face them.

In my opinion, when people don't want to face their problems, it is usually because of fear. They probably don't dare and do not have the courage to meet or to accept boldly what is in front of them.

That is why, whenever you dare to FACE your problem, it means that you are willing to accept responsibility and by doing so, it reflects the level of maturity you have.

Your ability to FACE your problem is your ability to express Courage.

The level to which you FACE your problem is the level to which you would receive Freedom.

The willingness to step out to meet your situation with boldness leads you to the entrance to freedom.

When we choose to FACE our problem, the Grace and Peace of God will be with us.

(Joshua 10:25)
"Then Joshua said to them, "Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed; be strong and of good courage, for thus the LORD will do to all your enemies against whom you fight""

In the book of Joshua, God wants us to be strong and of good courage and He will be there to help us defeat our enemies and win the situation.

(1 Samuel 17:45, 48-49)
v45 Then David said to the Philistine (Goliath), "You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a Javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied....."

v48-49 "So it was, when the Philistine (Goliath) arose and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. Then David put his hand in his bag and took a stone; and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth."

In the book of Samuel, David did not wavier and step aside when Goliath came dashing towards him. Instead, David hurried and ran towards the army to meet and FACE Goliath. The moment when David face his enemy and situation, it is a direct expression of Freedom and Courage.

FACE = Freedom And Courage Expressed

David dare to face his problem because of his faith in God. And because of this act of faith, David was filled with boldness and full of courage to FACE his enemy and eventually defeated him. The faith that David has in God activated the Courage he needs to defeat his situation.

FACE = Faith Activates Courage Effectively

Despite all the pressures and stress faced, David did not give in to the temptation of worries, anxieties, doubts. I believed he controlled his emotion and focused on the battle before him. When we FACE our problem, let's also learn to forsake all anxieties and control our emotions.

FACE = Forsaking Anxieties Controlling Emotions

We all have Goliaths in our daily life. Let's learn to put our truth and faith in God and gather the courage we need to face our problems and issues and to eventually defeat each and every one of them.

To end off, let's learn to find adequate courage everyday and enjoy victories in every battle.

FACE = Finding Adequate Courage Everyday
