“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” (vs 6)
Fear is one of the strongest emotions to control. Fear comes in many forms. It causes nervousness, timidity, procrastination, tears, laughter . . . and the list goes on and on. Fear can even cause physical problems and physical problems can cause fear.
Fear is a tool in the enemy’s hand, but we have the ability to stop it for if we didn’t, the Lord would never have told us to “fear not.”
God has given us the remedy for fear. “Be strong and of good courage.” Keep your attitude right, your eyes fixed on Him rather than on the situation or circumstance that would bring you fear.
God promises never to leave us nor forsake us. What more assurance could we ask for? What better way to free us from fear? If we don’t have to worry about Him turning His back on us, then what could possibly cause us to fear? If our God is for us and not against us, whom shall we fear?
Why You should ever love me, Lord, I’ll never, never know, but I’m so glad You do.
