Greetings,
How should we respond in times of great concern and uncertainty? Is it even rational for a believer not to have some degree of fear? Are we acting wisely by refusing to cower before our enemy? Shouldn’t we be hyperventilating and suffering panic attacks like everyone else? Some would argue that it is foolhardy not to be afraid. Listen to what God has to say:
Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV) – “FEAR NOT, for I am with you; BE NOT DISMAYED, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”
When we encounter a dangerous circumstance, fear helps us make the right decisions in that moment. It is a natural response. However, God doesn’t want us to live that way, with terror or dread. He reminds us that He is with us, He will help us, and He will uphold us. So, why should we live in fear?
Father God, today I thank You for being my strength in times of adversity and my Source in time of need. Because You are with me, no matter what I face, I know I will prevail—and for this I give You praise!
Today, I’m worshiping with Dante Bowe and “Champion.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
Pastor
