Fear Is A
Liar!
"Do not fear."
Deuteronomy 1: 21
We all
encounter circumstances in our life
which cause us to experience fear. These
can be mental, physical, spiritual struggles.
Characters in the Bible were no exception.
They, too,
experienced fear.
Think of disciples rowing on
the Sea of Galilee
or David battling against Goliath. Fear and the
courage to conquer it are mentioned often in
God’s Word. But it
is important to remember
the role of faith in conquering fear.
Joshua and Caleb were men of faith. When they
and other spies left Kadesh Barnea and enter the
land of Canaan
and inspect the land God gave to
them, their cohorts were afraid. Not Joshua and
Caleb. They didn’t let fear keep them from God’s
plan for the people to enter the Promised Land.
Nor did they let fear convince them to disobey
His commands. While others rebelled against
God, Joshua and Caleb remained steadfast in
their faith in God and His promises. And they
were eventually blessed because of it.
Reflect upon the promises found in
God’s Word; they will enable you to
conquer all your fears.
"The only known antidote
to fear is faith."
