9 Have I not commanded you? Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. ~ Joshua 1:9
God in all of His providence has said, “Do Not Be Afraid!” But I want you to look closer; He did not just say it; He commanded it. God is very serious about fear. But why so serious, God? Because fear is a form of weakness that leads to mistrust. God says, “Be strong and courageous and Do Not Be Afraid!” Why is this so important to God?
Because fear is the opposite of faith. Make no mistake; weakness is stemmed from mistrust. You cannot trust someone and fear the results of their decisions. The Scripture says that it is impossible to please God without faith. When we don’t have faith, we’re not just being weak; we’re calling God weak.
We’re saying that He can’t protect us from our fears. We’re saying He is easily overcome. We’re saying He isn’t the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the King of kings, or LORD of lords. We’re saying He isn’t the Almighty.
Faith is trusting in God and who He is. You build your faith by spending time with God and in His Word.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Put Your Faith In The Almighty.
