Our Lord Conquers Fear

Scripture 2 Chron 20:3 And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.

Observation: Most of the time when we are afraid all we see is the object of our fear, but what we should be doing is seeing our Lord the conqueror of our fear. When fear comes and it comes quite often we dwell on it instead of taking it to our Lord in prayer. If we are focused on God and all that He can do our fear becomes what it should be, nothing. God is in control if we let Him and no matter what happens to us we can glorify God, whether good or bad we have an opportunity to go to our Heavenly Father in prayer and ask for protection and guidance in all situations.

Application: As I write this I’ reminded how seldom I do it. Fear comes and I dwell on it to the point I feel the anxiety it would have caused if it really happened. I need to be in close contact with my Lord at all times so when something comes up I can go immediately go to Him for protection and guidance on what to do. I need to remember always I’m here for a reason and things will happen that aren’t pleasant, but God can work the good in all things.

Prayer: My Lord I freely give you this life as a living sacrifice, please use it to glorify you. Take the fear from my spirit and give me wisdom to know what you desire me to do in each situation that comes up. I’m your creation, servant and child, be with me and show me what you desire me to do.
