Tag: What the Bible says about facing our fears

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-4-19

Isaiah 41:13 (NKJV) 13 For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’

Life can sometimes leave us feeling alone and afraid.

We don’t know from one day to the next what we will face or what kind of challenges we will come up against.

It doesn’t matter what country we live in, whether we are male or female, what our financial status is, what nationality we are or the color of our skin. Stuff happens, and usually when we least expect it.

Many times, these things can hurt us emotionally. Other times they cause us to withdraw and wonder if anyone really cares.

And these types of things can make us fearful and afraid, grasping for hope.

But we’re here today to tell you that nothing can ever truly isolate you or leave you hopeless.

God is as close as we will let Him be. As we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us. As we seek Him with all our heart, we will find Him.

Jeremiah 29:12-13 (NKJV) 12 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

It’s time for us to stand against the things that are pushing us down. Time to resist the temptation to fall into self-pity. And time to push back against the darkness, in the name of Jesus, holding fast to God’s promises.

Ephesians 6:11 (NKJV) 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Don’t fear. We are not alone. He is our fortress. He will help us!

Psalm 18:2 (NKJV) 2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-15-15

Numbers 13:30 (NKJV) 30 Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.”

Let us go up at once and take possession!

Caleb had been one of the twelve Israelites who had been sent to spy out the land that God had promised them.

The land was everything God had said it would be, rich with produce and fertile for sustaining life. The fruit that they had brought back to show the others was huge in comparison to normal fruit. It took multiple men to carry it back.

And as they met with Moses and discussed what they had seen, the majority of the men spoke against moving in to take the land. in addition to the incredible bounty of the land, they had seen the inhabitants of the land, and they were very, very big.

In fact, some of them were giants.

But Caleb was not deterred. He knew what God had promised them and was ready to go after it and claim it, even though the majority of the others spoke against doing so.

God has put some things before every one of us. Some of them are very important in our lives and can, in fact, be life-changing.

Most of them will require defeating some giants in order for us to lay claim and take possession of them.

We have a choice. We can shrink back in fear and stay where we are, “wandering in the desert”. Or we can pursue those things and face those giants, defeat them and claim what God has put before us.

Which one will we choose? The choice is ours.
