No Fear
I just heard a great message about fear today. When we don’t fear the Lord, then we will fear all sorts of other things. When we forget who God is, fears can tear us apart. But here is what Psalm 46:1-3 says:
God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.
There is so much to be afraid of in this sin-broken world. But when God is our refuge and strength we don’t have to fear. The Psalmist pointed us to the worst that can happen to us and that is physical calamity and disaster. We may be maimed, killed, and lose everything of worldly value. But if we have Jesus Christ we have everything.
When people are crazy and run amuck saying and doing terrible things, we don’t need to fear. Psalm 118:6 says:
The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?
Paul said in Rom 8:31, “What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?” If you don’t know Jesus Christ as your Lord, God, and Savior, then you have all the reasons in the world to fear. If you don’t know him, watch my video on the Gospel on YouTube or read on this Gospel link.
