When you have a clean heart before God and do what is right by walking in all His ways, there will be nothing to fear when hardships come. He promised to guide your steps. He will make a way where there is no way. He will provide for your every need because you trust in Him.
For then shalt thou lift up they face without spot yea, thou shalt be steadfast, and shalt not fear because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away. Job 11: 15, 16
On the Lord’s Day, we remember Him. Like those women who early on the first day of the week came to prepare the body of the Lord with spices and ointment as it was the custom in burial, we today remember the Lord in praise and thanksgiving. We muse on his beauty as the Son of God, his work on this earth, his death, burial, resurrection and position now in Glory. We recall Jesus Christ, the Son of God’s love.
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. Hebrews 2 verse 9.
Don’t be afraid when things get overwhelming. God is not a halfway God; what He promises, He will fulfill. There is no adding to it or taking away from it. His ways are mysterious and sure. When we fall on our knees to pray for help and strength, God immediately goes to work. We have only to stop, believe and see the power of His loving kindness.
fear not he will always give you whatever you need to conquer any situation.
Yet To Be #239
What you see with the naked eye and what you know from experience are not always complete. There is more to any given situation if you are willing to trust God. He knows the end from the beginning, and all your ways are ordered by Him. Nothing takes the Lord by surprise.
Fear not, He will always give you whatever you need to conquer any situation. Things may not turn out the way you expect, but the results will be the best for your good. Believe and trust Him; He will see you through everything.
And he answered, Fear not for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. 2 Kings 6:16
When God has a plan for you, nothing can stop it from coming to pass. Sometimes to get to your expected end you need to confront unsurpassable things. Fear not, God will provide all that you need to conquer that problem and to see you through. What is for you, you will have.
And the angel of the Lord said unto Elijah, Go down with him be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the King. 2 Kings 1:15
And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son. For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the Lord sends rain upon the earth. 1 Kings 17 verses 13 and verse.
When you have work to do for the Lord, do not hesitate.
Be diligent.
Do it with kindness.
Whatever God wants of you.
Too many questions lead to doubt and anger.
We will never understand God’s ways.
His ways are past finding out.
(Elijah the prophet of God came to the widow of Zarephath and asked her for a morsel of bread to eat. She only had enough for her and her son and nothing more. But Elijah said to her, Fear not, go and make me first, then make for you and your son. She did as he commanded in faith, and the barrel of meal did not waste away, and the oil stayed.)
And the King said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? 1 Samuel 28 verse 13
“Speak the truth and speak it ever.” Don’t be afraid to say what is right. Speak up for the truth and believe it. But those who speak what is right have very few friends, And walk a lonely path. Rest assured, God is our rewarder and our comforter. With Him in control we are never alone.
There is no God like this everlasting God we serve.

And he said unto him, Fear not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel…1 Samuel 23 verse 17.
(David was anointed King and promised by God the throne. In this chapter of the book of Samuel, King Saul’s son Jonathan assures David he will be king no matter how much Saul, his father, seeks to murder him. God uses Jonathan to remind David of his future. Sadly, Jonathan later breaks the covenant and remains with his father even unto his death.)
Storms may rise and threaten to destroy all hope and promises. But God is in control. He calms the storms of life with a wave of His hand. He creates a dry path to walk in the seas of trouble and makes bridges of hope for the future. There is no God like this everlasting God we serve. What is to be, will be, and no one can hinder His work. Therefore, be not deceived when God makes a promise He will fulfill His word.
