‘For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.’ 2 Timothy 1:7(NLT)
‘Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.’ Isaiah 41:10(NLT)
‘Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. ‘ 1 Peter 5:8(NLT)
To be fearful of something that might harm us is human nature, but fear does not come from God. Fear is one of the enemy’s most popular weapons that he uses against us. As Christians, we know that God does not give us the spirit of fear. He provides us with the spirit of power and of love and of a sound mind. We can overcome the fear of uncertainty, knowing that God is in control and that He will walk with us through this difficult time.
Zach Williams is a Christian musician and has a great song entitled “Fear is a Liar.”
The chorus is as follows:
“Fear, he is a liar
He will take your breath
Stop you in your steps
Fear he is a liar
He will rob your rest
Steal your happiness
Cast your fear in the fire
’Cause fear he is a liar.”
