Fear Not!

Isaiah 41: 10 (ESV)

10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

I think anyone with a half a brain, knows that God will help us in time of need—right?

So then why do we spend so much time in our lives, living in fear?

Iran could get a nuclear bomb, but have we forgotten who’s in charge?

To be “dismayed”, means to be anxious, upset and worrisome.

I meet so many people today who confess Christ as Savior, but are some of the most worried and insecure people I know.

I don’t think fear or worry, are even in God’s vocabulary.

So then, why do we?

Maybe it’s because we don’t know our God like we should.

If we really knew Him, I think we’d worry less than we do.

This morning, try and trust in Him more, and watch your worry, and fear, just melt away into the sunset…
