Fear
David, who often experienced fear in his life, penned the following statement long ago: “I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears” (Psalm 34:4).
Overcoming fear is often quite hard to do. However, it is possible to be like David and find complete deliverance from all our fears. Full deliverance from fear is only possible with help from the Lord.
As Job experienced tests and trials in the school of God he had fear. He said, “For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me” (Job 3:25).
Jacob is another Bible character who often struggled with fears. As he was about to go into Egypt to see Joseph, he stopped at the border and offered a sacrifice. The Lord said to him, “Fear not to go down into Egypt” (Genesis 46:3).
Is there something in your life that you are afraid of? Tell it to Jesus. He’s interested in every detail of your life and wants you to trust in Him. “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7).
