“Be strong and of
good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them;
for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes
with you.
He will not leave
you nor forsake you” Deuteronomy 31:6, NKJV).
Fear. Sometimes its identity is terrifyingly
clear; other times it is but an unnamed, vague sense of unease. Either way, it
can be a formidable enemy, one that may drive us to make unwise choices or to
stand paralyzed, unable to move in any direction.
God hasn’t
purposed for fear to control us in any such manner. Fear does not come from
God; it is a tool of the enemy of our soul. And our faithful Lord has provided
all we need to defeat it. “Be strong and of good courage,” He calls to us. “Do
not fear nor be afraid.” Why? Because there is NOTHING in our lifetime that we
will ever have to face on our own. The Lord our God, He is the One who goes
with us, who stands with us, who fights for us, and who carries us when we are
too weak to stand.
Today,
whether fear whispers your name or screams its threats, stand strong, beloved,
for underneath are the everlasting arms, strengthening and holding you,
fighting for you and declaring victory over you. Be strong and of good courage,
for God has promised NEVER to leave or forsake you. And that’s a promise you
can believe in.
