Living In Fear

Isaiah 41:10

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

One of the most beautiful portraits of our Fathers love for us. When we read these mighty words we should rejoice in our hearts. For we have no reason to fear!! He has everything under control! But yet many of us while knowing these verses, have not yet come to the full truths that we must fear not!! See… after hearing a promise like this… our Father deeply desires for us to let Him show He keeps His word. And He has called us to fear not. When we live in fear while being born again believers, we are totally living as if ALL Gods words to us are in vain. Not just this verse, but the whole word. For all His word is based on trust in Him and on Him. We must not live in fear beloved. For when we live in fear, we smack God in the face… and trample over His beautiful promises. When living in fear we live as if the reality of God… is gone from our life!! So don’t be afraid!! Whatever the storm or situation… trust His promises!! Hear Him say… “Fear not… for I am with you. Be not dismayed for I AM thy God!! I will never lead you in a place that will overtake you. Although it may become hard at times… just trust me!! Trust me! Oh please trust me! And stop living in fear.”
