Do Not Fear

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10

Are you saved? Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ? If you do, the Bible urges you not to worry. People say that it is easier said than done, but I say that it a matter of practice. Christians must learn to trust God. The Word of God is the will of God. Christians forget at times, that God is the ultimate giver. He gave his son. It is desire to give us all that we need. We don’t have to beg, or cry. The word of God urges to seek the kingdom and the righteousness and everything else’s will be given to us. Everything implies all that we need and imagine. Everything is everything not just something and that include your current situation. God wants to provide for that pressing need but do you have the faith to ask and expect? My dear friend, have faith in God and you will see his glory. The situation that you are facing is not greater than God. When you approach God, everything is within reach. You do not have to fear. The above scripture reminds you that God is with you and will strengthen you as you passed through your tests. Be encouraged this morning. Know God hears your prayers. He cares about all of your needs and He is able and willing to intervene if you would just let Him in and rest in his presence.

Fear not, is not just good advice. It is n order. You are in disobedience to God when you worry. When you fear, you question God’s omnipotence. Faith and fear cannot co-habit. Make the choice to trust God word and let go of all fear and only then will you be able to live the full and purposeful life that God sent his son to die to offer you. Did you know that Fear Not! And be Not Afraid” appeared 180 times in the Bible? God would like you to have the peace that surpasses all intelligence if you would just accept it. I would agree with you, the world appears to be a scary place, but I can guarantee you that is not the way it was intended to be and despite the daily terror on the news, you are still under the protection of the omniscient and omnipotent God. He knows it all. Nothing catches Him by surprise. He never says, “I didn’t see that one coming”. He knows everything before it happens. You can rely on God’s omnipresence. He is always with you. Why would you fear? He is Sovereign: nothing is above Him. He is immutable. He will not go back on His word. He is good, just and merciful: He will do you right. Fear not! My friend. Fear Not! As you go through this day and every day of your life, know that the one who is with you is greater than what is against you.

Praise the Lord!
