Blessing For Todayគំរូ

Fear Not! 

Almost every day I talk to someone who is afraid or anxious. Maybe, today you may be afraid of what people may think of you, being far away from home, of public speaking, flying, spiders, failure or rejection, of poverty, losing a loved one, disease, pain or death. The good news for you is that the Lord says to you, “Fear Not”. Such an assurance is needed today for those who live in the grip of needless fear. 

“Fear not!” These were the very first words of the Gospel with which an angel cheered the shepherds who shook with fright on the first Christmas night. “Be not afraid!” – These were the very first words that the risen Christ spoke to the women who sought Him on the first Easter morning in the grave where He had been laid. 

Instead of declaring, “Fear Not” often, the best cure for such baseless fear is to trust in God’s benevolence and the knowledge of what you have in Christ. You may say, “I am fearful. How I can avoid it?” Beloved, the Bible says that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, of love and of a sound mind. So, it is meaningless to say “I am afraid” when you do not have to be afraid. Speak words of faith and courage. Go through this day with the boldness of a lion. You are the child of the Lion of Judah! 

Prayer

“Loving heavenly Father, I thank You for dispelling my fear through this truth. Thank You for giving me a spirit of love, power and of sound mind. Help me to relieve others from their fear and distress through this beautiful truth. This I ask in Jesus’ name, Amen. 

‘You are a child of Lion of Judah; Display a lion’s boldness!’
