Fear is not from God. Peace is. 1Cor. 1:3 is just one of the several verses in the Bible that repeatedly tells us this. We must remind ourselves of this truth every time we are afraid or anxious. Fear is a spirit of unbelief. The opposite of fear is rest or peace.
Rest then in the absolute conviction that the God we trust in is living; He is all powerful; He is sovereign, forever on the throne ruling in majesty. In addition, His love is everlasting, unfailing and boundless.
"I am a child of this powerful, loving God."
Let us therefore be anxious for nothing but in prayer make our request known to this awesome, majestic, Most High God, our Father. The peace of God which surpasses all understanding will then guard our hearts (Php. 4:6, 7). "I know whom I have believed in," can be our confident boast.
Though you would have heard this song, 'No Longer Slaves', I share it with the purpose that as you read what I wrote, you may be encouraged.
