What is fear? Fear dreads. Fear rests. Fear produces chaos and anxiety. Fear anticipates trouble, dreading that something bad is going to happen. Fear corrodes our confidence in God's goodness. The Bible says "Do Not Fear" but, is it that easy? No. We are human. We fear.
What should we do when we are faced with fear- when we're afraid and worried?
1. Keep things in perspective. "Isn't life more than food?" Isaiah -6:25. Remember, if God gave you life, He will give you food.
2. Remember how incredibly valuable you are to God. " Look at the birds" Isaiah 6:25.
3. Realize it's counter productive. "Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?" Isaiah 6:27. Can fear solve all your problems? NO!!
4. Trust God to take care of you. "He will CERTAINLY take care of you" Isaiah 6:30.
5. Remember that God already knows what you need. "Your heavenly Father knows". Isaiah 6:32.
6. See God more than anything else. "Seek first His kingdom". Isaiah 6:33.
7. Take one day at a time. " Don't worry about tomorrow". Isaiah 6:34.
Today God said: " Do not fear, for I am with you; do no anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will uphold you with My righteous hand...Do not fear, I will help you...Do not fear, for you are mine!" (Isaiah 41:10, 13,43:1).
