A song says because He lives I can face tomorrow,
because he lives all my fears are gone. Because he holds my future. Our
Redeemer liveth. He is the same yesterday, and today and forever. Many a time
the devil uses the tool fear to steal people’s confidence. When there is fear,
your confidence disappears. When there is fear the future is not bright it is
bleak. Fear is a strong tool in the hand of the devil. Fear is a strong,
uncontrollable, unpleasant emotion caused by perceived danger or threat. Philippians
2 vs. 12: Therefore, my dear ones, as you have always obeyed (my suggestions),
so now, not only ( with the enthusiasm you would show) in my presence but much
more because I am absent, work out (cultivate, carry out to the goal, and fully
complete) your own salvation with reverence and awe and trembling (self-
distrust, with serious caution, tenderness of conscience, watchfulness against
temptation, timidly shrinking from whatever might offend GOD and discredit the
name of CHRIST). The devil is a threat to our salvation that is why the bible says
workout your salvation with fear and trembling. The bible says for GOD has not
given us the spirit of fear, but of power, of love and sound mind. Fear is not
of GOD, it is caused by the devil. Many have been killed by threats from their
enemies. When one is frightened on an issue he is on the verge of losing. You
shouldn’t fear because you are fearfully and wonderfully made by GOD.
Furthermore, David knew he was fearfully and wonderfully made that is
why he was fearless. He was bold like a lion. He said in Psalm 27 vs. 1-3: The
LORD is my light and salvation, whom shall I fear, the LORD is the strength of
my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies and my
foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumble and fell. Though a host
should encamp against me, in this will I be confident. I love these verses of
the bible, as a child of GOD you shouldn’t be afraid, because the LORD is your
light and salvation. The wicked (the devil) will always come to sow tares among
the wheat, but we should be rest assured because they will not prevail.
Confidence is expedient. Hebrews 13 vs. 6: So that we may boldly say, “The LORD
is my helper and I will not fear what man shall do unto me”. There are enemies
in form of men around and within us, we shouldn’t be afraid of their threat,
because they are empty since greater is HE that is in us, than he that is in
the world. It is well with us!!!
