11 For the sake of your name, Lord,
forgive my iniquity, though it is great.
12 Who, then, are those who fear the Lord?
He will instruct them in the ways they should choose.
13 They will spend their days in prosperity,
and their descendants will inherit the land. Psalm 25: 11-13
What do you fear? The dark, being alone, death? These are all fears that the enemy wants us to have, because they are all things that seem to have a common theme. Darkness you can't see, being alone you cannot feel, and death is the end. At least that is what the enemy wants you to think. We should have a healthy fear of the Lord and that is to respect Him and all He has done for us. Tomorrow I will lead a service in remembrance of a dear friend, and the enemy wants me to fear speaking in front of all my friends, her family and extended friends. The thing is, I don't really fear speaking about her or about what Jesus can bring into your life. I fear that I am not reaching enough people with God's Word and there will be many people who will not Fear God but Fear Death. I am not afraid of the Dark, although my brother and sister might tell you differently, but neither am I afraid of being alone or of death. With darkness, there is the light that God shines, with loneliness my friends and family fill that void and with death, I do not fear it because of the faith I have in God and Jesus' resurrection. Do not Fear.
Have a great weekend.
