Ever wonder how come there are so many passages in the Bible where we are told to "fear not"? Perhaps it is because it is a natural human tendency to be fearful, and God wants to remind us that we don't have to be fearful any more. We only need to trust him. When we place our lives in the hands of Jesus, he is our protector. He has already provided eternal protection for us for all of eternity through his saving grace on the cross. What more is there to fear?
I know that in the reality of life here in this world there are frightening things happening. Sin and evil surrounds us, but we have a power greater that he who is in the world. Access that power the next time you are afraid. Draw from the strength of the Father and Son and Holy Spirit and allow the peace of God to replace the fear of satan.
"You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." -1John 4:4
