Fear Not!



Jeremiah 30:10 Therefore fear not, O my servant Jacob, says The Lord; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save you from afar, and your seed from the land of captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid. 

Hello all and today is not only Friday, but it is a #FearlessFriday! Make the hashtag come to life today by resting on the sure Word from The Lord. Think back to early childhood. I'm certain that many if not all who reads this has experienced a frightful moment during that time. It could have been those dreadful five minutes in the store looking for a parental. Perhaps, it was a horrific movie that prevented a good nights rest. Somehow once our parents came to our rescue, the terror in our minds quickly vanished. Just like that we felt relieved of all anxiety because mom and dad was present. See where I am going with this? 

Even as adults we still may feel troublesome while walking through dark times in our lives. However, we must not allow ourselves to become afraid. Why? Because God is ALWAYS present. When we were children we had to wait on mom/dad. Even now as adults we have to wait on law enforcement if there was trouble in our home. Not with God! God shows up within an instant because He is everywhere! That is why we can cheerfully go through obstacles because Jesus walks with us. Rest assured we are only walking through the valley, but should have the confidence of David which concurred, "I know YOU are with me." David knew God was with Him no matter what. Jesus promised to never leave or forsake us. Of course being humans, we tend to fear terribly too much. See it that we are believers, fear should not reign in us. Our faith should be the boldest element about us. Trials should be a launching pad for our faith, not a silencer. God wants to put us at ease, but He never said this walk would be easy. What are your fears? Talk to them, write them down, and speak The Word against them all. Speak with confidence, rebuke the devil, walk in boldness and wait on The Lord. Not that He is slacking, but He is simply building our trust through our trials. Fear not! Don't be dismayed. Your God will make a way! #FearlessFriday
