17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.” 18 Now when all the people saw the thunder and the flashes of lightning and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking, the people were afraid and trembled, and they stood far off 19 and said to Moses, “You speak to us, and we will listen; but do not let God speak to us, lest we die.” ~ Exodus 20:17-19
The people of Israel were just brought out of the land of Egypt, where they had been slaves for 400 years. God rescued them with signs and wonders not even Pharaoh’s magicians could imitate. When they were hungry, they received manna from Heaven, and quail dropped out of the sky. A Pillar of Cloud guarded and led them by day, while a Pillar of Fire guarded and led them by night. The LORD even sent His Son in the form of a rock so that the people could receive water. The LORD was with the People of Israel everywhere they went, yet when they saw the Nephilim fear found a way in, and they forgot all of God’s promises for them.
Fear is paralyzing and abusive. It will deceive you with looks and feelings vs. facts and Truth. The LORD is greater than all our fear, yet if we go by looks alone, the giants will seem greater than our God. We can’t allow any fear into our hearts because fear only needs to get its toe in the door to completely consume you. Don’t believe its lies for fear is just False Evidence Appearing Real.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Don’t Be In Dread.
