Fear Not

Dec 6, 2020

God knows that we are prone to fear. Over and over in the Bible He tells us to fear not. We need this reminder because for many of us, fear is the default position of our heart. The opposite of a fearful heart is one who trusts in the Lord, one who understands that God knows you, loves you and cares for you. He is sovereign, He is over all. When we have made the Lord our stronghold, whom shall we fear?

Isaiah 41:10,14
“Fear not, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about you,
    for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
I will help you.” Declares the Lord, and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.

Isaiah 43:1-2
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
    I have called you by name, you are mine.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
    and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,
    and the flame shall not consume you.
