DON'T FEAR!

"...your life is hid with Christ in God." (Colossians 3:3)   

 

I have good news for you -- you don't have to fear! No matter the evils and calamities in the world today, you are too covered to be uncovered! Colossians 3:3 says, "...your life is hid with Christ in God." What that simply means is that you are far from Satan's reach. He would have to touch God before he can touch you. That is why the Bible says, "...For he that touches you touches  the apple of his eye" (Zechariah 2:8). You are too defended to be assaulted and offended! You are totally protected!

 

You don't have to fear epidemics, accidents, sudden calamities, etc. You know why? God is with you. "...For he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear..." (Hebrews 13:5-6). The reason many Christians are fearful is simply because they are not conscious of God's presence with them. David said, "...Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me" (Psalm 23:4). He was too conscious of God's presence... no wonder he could not be killed by any of his enemies.

 

God is not only with you He is also watching over you. Psalm 121:4 says, "Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep." The reason God does not sleep is so that He can keep you. He keeps awake in order to keep your enemy away. So, you can afford to sleep soundly at night like a proper child of God, instead of curling up on one edge of your bed in fear. Relax, your keeper is awake!

 

Another reason why you don't have to fear is because God's word says, "There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling" (Psalm 91:10). That is not only a promise, it is also a decree. There is a hedge; a boundary around you that Satan is not permitted to cross. "It's up to you to believe it and refuse to fear. Paul the Apostle said, "...For I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed to him..." (2 Timothy 1:12). Nobody can keep your life better than God because He gave it to you in the first place. So, commit your life and all that you have to God and trust Him to keep you because He is able. There is no need to fear!

 

Stay above...always. 


Yours & His,
Angela
