FEAR

Fear is a universal experience. No one is exempt from it. Fear doesn't discriminate; it doesn't care who you are or where you come from.

But here's the thing: whenever fear rears its ugly head, we can take solace in the fact that the Spirit of God within us is far mightier than any fear this world can throw at us.

God has equipped us with an incredible strength, a strength that enables us to confront fear head-on without cowering in its presence. It's like having a secret weapon, a divine force that empowers us to stand tall in the face of fear and say, "Not today!"

God, in His infinite wisdom, has made it abundantly clear in His Word that fear is not His doing. In fact, He has mentioned it over 300 times! Fear is nothing more than a lack of trust in our mighty Creator. It's like saying, "Hey God, I don't think you've got this under control."

But here's the beautiful part: once we truly put our trust in God and His Word, all those fears that come knocking on our door are no longer our concern. They become God's business. He takes them upon Himself, carrying the weight of our worries and fears, so that we can walk in freedom and peace.

Let's embrace the power within us, the power of the Spirit of God, and let's trust in Him wholeheartedly. Because when we do, fear doesn't stand a chance.  So let's face our fears with unwavering confidence, knowing that we are not alone. God has our back - always.

"But you will not even need to fight.
Take your positions;
then stand still and watch the Lord’s victory"
2 Chronicles 20:17
