Fear

May 31, 2011 reflectinghisradiance

How many times are we afraid?  What makes us afraid?  Many things: a changing economy, declining health, world turmoil, rejection. 

As we read in the Word, we see many people who are afraid.  Joshua when called to enter the promised land.  The disciples when Jesus walked on water.  John when He saw Jesus.

How does God respond to this?  The command “Do not fear” appears many places throughout Scripture.  But how does He intend to overcome this fear that seems so pervasive in our lives?  This command is followed up with a statement: “Do not fear. I AM…”  He desires to overcome our fear through His existence, His presence, His nature. 

Whatever fear you face, remember His answer: “I AM.”  Seek to know who Jesus is.  He is truly the answer to every fear we face.
