Do Not Fear

by Dr. Ralph Jenkins
Ihad a conversation with a lady this morning as she served breakfast to me and a friend. She is in a hard place dealing with Covid and marital problems. It has strained her relationship with the Lord and led to discouragement and fear for the present and future.
This is not uncommon in the day we live in. Everywhere we go, we see friends, family, and wonderful Christian people experiencing this fear. But we have a friend in Jesus, and we have His Word and promise to hold to. God is faithful even when we are not. His Word is filled with glorious promises that He makes to His people. If we will live our lives for Him, then there is no reason not to expect Him to fulfill every promise in our lives.
I could go on with my words, but I would rather give you God’s Word.
Psalm 37:3-5: “Trust in the Lord and do good; Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord; And He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, and He will do it.”
Deuteronomy 31:8: “The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
Psalm 34:17: “The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.” 1 Peter 5:6-7: “Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”
Romans 8:28: “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”
Romans 8:38-39: “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
There are religions and cults that promise freedom from fear. There are oils, pills, ways to think positive thoughts, and even objects to wear on one’s body that are supposed to help relieve the emotional struggles of life.
If you live in this world without Christ, maybe you need those things. Yet I show you a better way and life that is found in Christ alone. As a follower of Christ, all we need is His Word, His truth, His life. If you are struggling with discouragement and fear, open God’s Word. Read, meditate on, and pray God’s Word back to Him. I will be surprised if you don’t find the peace of God that surpasses understanding and the joy of the Lord, unspeakable and full of glory, for your life.
