This morning my quiet time was all about fear and how the devil tries to use fear, on a daily basis, to steer us from the Lord. I thought this paragraph was a neat explanation of God's view on fear and how if we put all our faith in God, then there is no reason to be afraid. Just thought I'd share! ;)
"All throughout the Bible, God instructs people to not fear. Though we may feel sometimes this is easier said than done, it is no coincidence that when you add up all the instances in Scripture where it is instructs, "do not fear," "fear not," and "be not afraid" they total 365 occurrences--one occurrence for every day of the year. Perhaps this is God's way of telling us never will we face a day that we will ever have a valid reason to be afraid. May our faith in Jesus shine so bright, extinguishing all ungodly fears, that those who don't know Jesus will marvel at our boldness and know, as the Sanhedrin did after witnessing the boldness of Peter and John, that we have been with Jesus."
