Fear Not

Psalms 91:4-6 says this:

4. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6. Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

Notice that the scripture lets us know that we need not fear. Notice also that it actually commands us to fear not; "Thou shalt not be afraid." Whatever fear may be nagging at you, whatever irrationality that may be following you can be defeated by faith.
Do not forget who the author of fear is. One of Satan's most powerful tools is fear. But also remember what James 4:7 says:

"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."

Take comfort in that verse, but never overlook the first sentence. We must be fully submitted to God and walking in His light if we expect to foster the kind of faith required to resist the enemy.

Foster your faith, church. Do so by hearing and studying God's Word. Your most paralyzing fears will soon become forgettable echoes in your past.

God bless,
