“Fear thou not; for I Am with thee: be not dismayed

Troubles come to each of us, and when they do our hearts become fearful and apprehensive.  If you are as I, your stomach begins to churn, you don’t feel like eating for there is too much on your mind.  ….and we stew over all that could possibly go wrong.  It is not the case that we should not be concerned with our troubles and search for a solution to them, but the fear paralyzes us…..and it shouldn’t.  Faithful Christians can go to their Father for help, for guidance and for comfort.  It is there at His throne we can lay aside our worries and rest in the full assurance that He will walk with us during the storms of life.  God is interested in everything about His child.  He wants to hear from you and He is only a prayer away.

“Fear thou not; for I Am with thee:  be not dismayed;  for I Am thy God:  I will strengthen thee;  yea, I will help thee;  yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of My righteousness.”      Isaiah 41:10

“And the Lord, He it is that doth go before thee; He will be with thee, He will not fail thee, neither forsake thee:  fear not, neither be dismayed.”     Deuteronomy 31:8

“Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you.”   I Peter 5:7  “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”    Romans 8:38-39

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God:  because many false prophets are gone out into the world.”     I John 4:1

“Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing?  and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.  But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.”    Matthew10:29-30

“Pray Often

Work Hard

Trust God?

“There never has been a more assuring statement uttered by mortal man than this:  The Lord is on my side.  And He was.  For God is no passive spectator of struggles between a child of His and Satan.  He does not sit on the sidelines of neutrality. watching to see who wins before He does anything.  He is involved with us in our fighting.

The psalmist declared, “The Lord taketh my part with them that help me” (verse7)  Indeed, he had friends that aided him;  but God was working with them, making their gestures and labors productive in the poet’s behalf.

With God on his side, he fearlessly asked.  “What can man do unto me?”  For if God is for us, who can be against us?

Now concerning sides, two cannot be on the side of the third without all three being on the same side.  So if we were all on the side of God, all would be on the same side; and God would be on the side of all. Hence it is appropriate that we ask, “Who is on the Lord side?”      Exodus 32:26
