The Lord is long-suffering and of great goodness and He knows that doubts and discouragement can be triggered by so many things that mar our lives, and so He often expands His words of comfort with a beautiful postscript, underlining and emphasising His great goodness and loving-kindness: "Do not fear, for I am with you Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." But the Lord is gracious to us for He knows that we are but dust. should we not simply take Him at His Word and not fear?įaith in His precious promises is what God desires of us all, and we are warned that unless we trust His Word we can't please Him. Fear not." When the God of the universe, Who sent His Son to be our Kinsman-Redeemer and pay the price for our sins on the Cross tells us not to worry. Do not anxiously look about you," are His words of encouragement, "for I am your God. "Do not fear," He beseeches us, "for I am with you.
The Lord Jesus is the One Who charges us not to be discouraged or dismayed because He is our God and that truth should be sufficient. He invites us to cast all our cares upon Him because He cares for us and promises to be with us forever - even to the very end of the age. He is the One Who tells us not to be anxious and commands us not to fret about evildoers.
He is the One Who tells His children not to fear because He can still the raging storm and heal the brokenhearted. But no matter how many times these cheering words of encouragement appear, let us always remember that they are spoken by the Creator of the Universe to His people.
