God's most frequent command in the Bible is "do not be afraid." Great people of the Bible were told "do not be afraid," people like Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Elijah, Daniel and the disciples and … people like you and me. We need not fear but only trust our great and good Heavenly Father who is ever near, and only a prayer away. Jesus says, "Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom" (Luke 12:32). Be of good courage! |
