Do not be afraid!

Have you ever been really scared? REALLY SCARED? There have been situations that many have been through that were truly life and death situations. It seems that most everyone has some fear, whether it be public speaking, meeting your new girlfriend's parents, etc.

I think the biggest fear that many have is death. It is easy to see why the fear of death is so prevalent. I don't know about you but I really enjoy my life. I love the life that GOD has given me. I know that when this earthly life is over that I will spend eternity with JESUS in Heaven. So, what is there to fear?

Today's word is Judges 6:23, NIV, which reads, "But the LORD said to him (Gideon), 'Peace! Do not be afraid. You are not going to die."

Gideon had entertained the LORD'S angel, who had told Gideon that GOD was going to use him to defeat the Midianites. Gideon had asked for a sign that this was GOD'S will (I have shared before that I am a Gideon-type person). The angel gave Gideon a sign. Gideon feared that he would die because he had seen the LORD'S angel face to face. BUT, he had no need to fear...

With GOD on our side, with us being His children, we have no reason to fear what He calls us to do. He has a plan. He has it all worked out. He has our best in mind. We can rest peacefully and comfortably in His arms. Do not be afraid!

Be Blessed,
