Guide Your Mind-Guard Your Heart-Grace Your Tongue

DAY 10 OF 21

The word “fear” appears no less than 400 times in the King James Version of the Bible; I believe it is safe to assume that the Scriptures have something vital to say concerning this basic human emotion. Fear is not a hidden subject in the Scriptures; God addresses it often, and the Holy Spirit gives us a healthy prescription for dealing with it. 

One definition of fear is “a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, or pain, whether the threat is real or imagined.” Most things we fear are only the fictional perceptions of an overactive mind. We “think” something bad is going to happen, so we embrace a spirit of fear. The battle begins in the mind, because an emotion is a thought before it becomes a feeling. Whenever you deal with the emotion of fear, you must instantly go to the Word of God. 

Fear has an uncanny ability to turn a thriving believer into a weakling who is unable to accomplish great things for the kingdom of God. Satan desperately desires to scare the future right out of you and endeavors to convince you to see all of your tomorrows from his dastardly perspective. However, remind yourself that Satan is the Father of Lies! 

If fear has gripped your soul, perhaps it would be beneficial to remind yourself that you are loved completely, fully, and eternally by the One who knows you the very best! Run into the arms of Christ’s love whenever fear threatens to mar the landscape of your glorious future. Remind yourself over and over and over again that there is nothing that has been created or imagined that is able to diminish His love for you or that has the influence to disconnect you from His love. 

Every person in the Bible who was called to do something great for the kingdom of God heard the oft-uttered and divinely powerful words, “Do not fear!” As human beings, we all deal with fear at challenging junctures in life, but God doesn’t want us to remain in those places of paralyzing anxiety, dread, or terror. He has called us out of fear and into His great love for us.

Bible Reading: 2 Timothy 1:7

Romans 8:38-39

Personal Application: When fear begins to creep into your heart, meditate on Scriptures like Romans 8:38-39
