Refuse To Live In Fear (4)
"If God is for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:31 NKJV
To overcome fear, you must believe that God is with you. It's the key to your ability to obey what He tells you to do. As you become confident that He is with you, your fear will lessen. When David volunteered to fight Goliath, King Saul said to him, "You are not able to go against this Philistine...for you are a youth, and he a man of war from his youth" (1 Samuel 17:33 NKJV). David replied, "The Lord...will deliver me from...this Philistine" (v. 37 NKJV). You're not in this battle alone; the Lord is with you. When you're convinced of that, your fear will subside. You may not always know what God will do, but you can relax in knowing He will do what needs to be done at the right time. When you think about the future and all the things that are unknown to you, it's easy to feel afraid. But you can view it two ways. You can either be pessimistic and fearful, or you can say to yourself, "The battle is the Lord's, and He has never lost a battle!" You may not always know what to do in a tense situation, but God does. He knows everything prior to it happening, and He has planned your deliverance in advance. Just put one foot in front of the other, confident that He is guiding you. You don't have to see God or feel Him in order to believe that He is with you. Faith is a matter of the heart instead of the natural senses. God is with you! Believe it and refuse to live in fear.
