Fearlessly Yours

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;
all who follow his precepts have good understanding.
To him belongs eternal praise. Psalm 110:10 NIV

Some people say that fear is abnormal and a sign of a lack of faith. Others say that fear is merely an emotional and biological response to danger or uncertainty. Whoever is correct I know for sure that there is no way to guaranty you will have a fear-free existence. The real problem of fear is not how to avoid it, but how to face it. I think the only way to face fear is to face it with God.

Consider the fact that God is on our side (Hebrews 13:5 Amplified). Also consider that God asks us to cast the whole of our anxieties, worries, and concerns on Him, for He deeply cares for us
(1 Peter 5:7). God has plans to prosper us and not to harm us, plans to give us hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). And God’s plans don’t include fear. We may never be able to avoid experiencing fear, but we know where to place our fears, at the foot of the cross of Jesus Christ!

I think that when we truly believe God loves us, when we immerse ourselves in following His ways, fear becomes an afterthought when compared to the reality of who we are in Christ. We are a Holy priesthood, a royal people and even more so, the apple of the Father’s eye.
