Yom Re-vi-i, Adar 17, 6001 – February 15, 6001

Fear Not

This phrase appears many times in scripture. It seems reasonable to conclude then that we as followers of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus) that we will need this encouragement. This goes back to the days of the children of Israel as well. Our Father always fights our battles for us, when we turn to Him.

Judges 6:23 And the Lord said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die.
24 Then Gideon built an altar there unto the Lord, and called it Jehovah–shalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abi–ezrites.

Joshua 8:1 And the Lord said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land:

Matthew 14:25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

There are many such stories in scripture. We need not fear, only believe that we serve the living God, and that He loves us and will be merciful unto us.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King! Bless the name Yahuah. We ask that You send Your will today. We ask that You send us our provision. Forgive us our sins, for they are against You only. We ask that we all might forgive each other, that Your mercy might show abroad in the land. Heal and cleanse our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the evil that tries to overwhelm us. Restore unto Your people their lands, their hearts, their relationships, and their desire to serve You. We ask all these things in the name of Jesus (Yeshuah). Amen.
