Fear Not

Over and over again, God speaks to his people and tells them not to fear. Yet, I often find myself afraid of all kinds of things—situations, people, the future. My natural inclination is to forget that God cares for me. I meditate on what could go wrong instead of God’s great love and care. I’m sure it’s why “Fear not!” appears so often in scripture. Ever since Adam and Eve sinned, we run from God in fear. I think it’s time to run toward God in faith and stop running from Him in fear. I want to learn how to eliminate fear from my life. “Fear not!” is a command. I have decided to trust God to help me eliminate fear from my life.
