The Lord Says Not To Fear

Scripture Josh 10:8 And the LORD said to Joshua, “Do not fear them, for I have delivered them into your hand; not a man of them shall stand before you.”

Observation: How many times as my Lord told me not to fear and yet I do? The only thing I should fear is my Lord. He watches over me and protects me and if I listen will guide me in everything that I do. I look back and see all of the victories my Lord has won for me and how He has gotten me out of so many jams. Yet a day doesn’t go by that I don’t fear something. My fear from the Lord is that I will disappoint Him, which I do every time I fear anything else, because it shows a lack of faith and trust in my Master.

Application: If I believe my God is who He says He is and I do. Then what is there to fear? I need to always keep that in mind that God always has my back and when things do go wrong I need to ask and find out what it is I’m supposed to be learning from that experience. God loves me and He wants me to finish this race well and he’ll do whatever it takes to make sure that I do, but I need to listen and obey His word.

Prayer: My Lord give me courage to live this life in glory to you. Take this fear from my spirit and help me hear you. I don’t want to let you down anymore, but live a life that will make you proud of me. Time is running out and the pace I’ve been setting for myself, I’ll never get to the finish line. Help me pick up my stride and run for your glory. I love you Lord may I finish well.
