"For I the Lord thy God
will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee."
(Isaiah 41:13, KJV)
Even a slight change in the
routine events of our lives brings fear within us. A student who attends school
regularly feels anxious on exam days. The normal body temperature of a human
being is 98.6°F (37°C); if it slightly increases, we feel fatigued and afraid.
Seeing a creditor makes us fearful. Reading or witnessing an accident brings
fear. We also fear for our future and the future of our children. Thus, human
life continues with fear.
Seeing us living in fear, the
Lord says, "For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto
thee, Fear not; I will help thee." Yes, dear ones, if we allow God to hold
our hand, fear will leave us.
In the Bible, both in the Old
and New Testaments, the words "Fear not" are mentioned multiple times
to comfort us. Our Lord Jesus Christ also assured us, saying, "Fear ye not
therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows." (Matthew 10:31, KJV)
Fear is a deception of Satan.
During failures and troubles, Satan whispers, "There is no life left for
you; you should end your life," thereby instilling suicidal thoughts in
us. Fear is Satan's weapon. "He was a murderer from the beginning, and
abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a
lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."
(John 8:44, KJV)
But God assures us that He has
a good life planned for us. Yes, dear ones, when we build a close relationship
with God, our fears vanish. When God's love fills us, fear is cast away. If we
remain in fear, it means we have not been perfected in God's love. "There
is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath
torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love." (1 John 4:18, KJV)
When we surrender to God, His
reassuring words, as mentioned in today's meditation verse, will fill our
hearts. "For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to
save them." (Luke 9:56, KJV) Therefore, God promises every repentant soul,
"For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear
not; I will help thee." (Isaiah 41:13, KJV) Let us surrender to God, abide
in His perfect love, and cast out all fear.
Let us live a life of loving
God and fearing only Him, not man. Only then can we live apart from sin. The
Lord Jesus Christ says, "And fear not them which kill the body, but are
not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both
soul and body in hell." (Matthew 10:28, KJV).
