FEAR NOT

FEAR NOT

Fear is a strong, uncontrollable, unpleasant emotion caused by actual or perceived danger or threat. As children of the Most High we shouldn’t fear. David said in Psalm 27 vs.1: The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? GOD’s strength is enough for us; we are to fear nothing. Many a time, situation and circumstances around us, bring fear to us. Many are scared and afraid of tomorrow. Many are afraid of confronting their problems. Many are afraid of the unknown. We shouldn’t be afraid, we shouldn’t fear; but rather praise GOD for we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Psalm 139 vs.14: I will praise thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. GOD didn’t give us the spirit of fear, but of power; and of love, and of sound mind. David was assured of this sound mind, he knew of a surety GOD was his light and salvation. No wonder he asked, whom shall I fear? Whom shall I be afraid? Fear demoralize, GOD hasn’t given us that spirit. He instead gave us power, love and sound mind. The disciples were afraid when a great storm of wind and waves beat into their ship. They woke up their Master JESUS, from his sleep. He arose and rebuked the wind and said unto the sea, peace be still. And immediately there was a great calm. Mark 4 vs. 39: And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. Vs. 40: And he said unto them, why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have no faith? GOD expects us in challenges, difficulties, adversity, and storms to arise and rebuke them by faith, so there can be calmness. When in difficulties, challenges, and storms you are not to be afraid, rather believe of a surety it will pass away. The Psalmist says sorrow may last by night, but joy cometh in the morning. Isaiah 41 vs. 10: Fear thou not; for I am with thee, be not dismayed; for I am thy GOD. I will strengthen, yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. GOD never leaves nor forsake His own; He is always there for them, come what may. He helps, strengthens and upholds them. Are you scared or afraid? Are you dismayed? Believe in GOD, for He is enough for you. It is well with us…
