Fear Not!

As Christians we do not need to live in constant fear in assumption that something terrible may happen to us. For nothing can happen to us except our heavenly Father wills it and maybe,  just maybe God doesn't even permit those fears we have in our lifetime,  but we cannot know until the moment comes (or never comes),  So we must live in the confidence of God's protection everyday, every moment of our lives. 

"Fear not" is written in the bible 365 times. That means at all times, everyday of our lives we are to live without fear. 

Sometimes in our lives we face challenges that are so unpleasant that at that moment it is difficult to believe that God has permitted such trial to come our way. Let us refer to Job's story (Job 1vs. 12),  here God gives satan permission to try job.  Also in Luke 4: 14-31 when Jesus preached in Nazareth and was almost pushed over a cliff but passed right through the crowd because His time had not yet come, in other words God had not yet permitted it. 

The bible constantly reassures us that God is with us,  that God never leaves us and He will never forsake us, so my dear friends in Christ,  why live in fear? 

Now you know that nothing ever happens to you without HIS consent and that HE doesn't want you to live in fear,  will you obey HIM? Will you live in the confidence of God's protection and in courage to face life's challenges knowing that God is with you? 

Here are 10 Scriptural refrences to the promise that God will never forsake or abandon you and I :

Deuteronomy 31:6

Deuteronomy 31:8

Joshua 1:5

1Kings 8:57

1Chronicles 28:20

Psalms 37:28

Psalms 94:14

Isaiah 42:16

Hebrews 13:5. 

........... We were made to be courageous! 

Peace, Love & Joy.
