Jesus said "Don't be afraid" (Mark 6:50).
Multiple times in the Bible we are reminded to not be afraid, to not fear. So when a phrase or subject is mentioned multiple times, it's something to take notice of. Such as In Isaiah 43:1-3, where our Savior says this:
"
Do not fear
, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior."
Are you struggling with fear?
Sometimes we forget that we have help...the Highest Help possible, and that Help is constantly with us. From the beginning of time, to the Israelites time, to the disciples time, to our time, our God has been with us because He made a covenant to do so.
Check this out: 'This is what I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt. And my Spirit remains among you.
Do not fear.
'" Haggai 2:5
Even though it may be easy, at times, to fall into the temptation of forgetting who God is and what He has promised you...don't!
We must not forget what the God of the Old Testament and the God of the New Testament has told us. Even when things appear to be going really bad around us, we are not to fear.
Today, live boldly knowing you are loved, you are wanted, you are not alone, and you have nothing to fear. You have nothing to fear because
"t
here is no fear in love, because perfect love drives out fear" (1 John 4:18).
