No Fear

 God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7)

The two greatest sources of fear and worry are the past and the future—remorse over the past or fear of the future—and God’s Word forbids us to worry about either.  

 Worry is a sign of fear, and fear is not faith. “Fear hath torment,” and lack of faith can be a terrible, frightening thing. But faith in God, trust in God, gives you a feeling of rest of body, peace of mind, contentment of heart, and spiritual well-being.

 It’s faith that keeps you from worry. It’s faith that keeps out fear. “Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in Me.”

 The beginning of faith is the end of worry! If you’re trusting the Lord, you know He’s going to take care of you, and you don’t have to worry.

 So to the only wise God our Savior, commit your way, your life, your mind, your thoughts, your time! “Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee.” His shoulders are broad enough to carry any load! —DBB [1]

 Therefore, if perfect love casts out fear, let us as God’s people make certain that we fear nothing this world can throw at us. If our time on earth is known to God… what is there to fear for those who love God? Nothing! In fact, every single day is worth rejoicing in, for the love of God is being perfected in us. —Dr. D.
