FEAR
Kenute P. Curry
We have all been fearful at one time or another. But beloved, God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of love, power, and a sound mind. If anything, we should have godly fear or reverence for Yahweh.
Matthew 14:26
1. THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS WISDOM; TO REVERE GOD AND AVOID SIN. TO DEPART FROM EVIL IS UNDERSTANDING (Job 28:28).
Job 4:14
2. WE SHOULD SERVE GOD WITH REVERENCE AND GODLY FEAR, BECAUSE HE IS THE ONE WHO HAS POWER TO THROW PEOPLE INTO “HELL” AFTER DEATH (Luke 12:5; Hebrews 12:28).
3. WE DO NOT HAVE TO FEAR EVIL (PROVERBS 1:33). WE DO NOT HAVE TO FEAR IF THE EARTH TREMBLES AND THE MOUNTAINS TOPPLE INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA (Psalm 46:1-2). WE DO NOT HAVE TO FEAR THE DISGRACE OF MEN, OR BE AFRAID OF THEIR INSULTS (Isaiah 51:7). WE DO NOT HAVE TO FEAR DANGER, EVEN WHEN WE GO THROUGH THE DARKEST VALLEY (Psalm 23:4).
4. BE STRONG AND DO NOT FEAR. GOD’S RETRIBUTION (Vengeance) IS COMING AND HE WILL SAVE YOU (ISAIAH 35:4).
5. 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 (Isaiah 41:10).
2 Timothy 1:7
6. YAHWEH PROMISES TO HOLD OUR RIGHT HAND, AND SUSTAIN US WITH HIS PROTECTION (Isaiah 41:13).
7. THE LORD IS OUR HELPER; WE CAN BE CONFIDENT AND COURAGEOUS, WITHOUT FEAR (Hebrews 13:6).
No matter what situation or circumstance we face in life – there is no need to fear! Yahweh is on our side, and He will draw the line when it comes to fear!
