This is one of the most amazing promises God makes in His Word. There are hundreds of scriptures in the Bible that tells you to not be afraid. It is actually annoying how I constantly battle in my mind with what I am facing at the moment. I do not know if you do it too, but I play the outcome of how I see it ending over and over in my mind and every time it varies.
It makes me tired and yet if I am still for a moment, there we go again. What does God say here. He makes a clear statement “Do not be afraid” and combined with this He says “I have ransomed you”. He paid the price for our salvation and He bought our freedom with His blood. He makes it abundantly clear that no matter what we face, no matter how deep, no matter how painful, He will be with us and the evil of this world will not touch us.
The entire world is currently designed to destroy but in all of this chaos we have Jesus Christ who has already defeated this world and gave us the way out. We get stuck in our thoughts because that is the only weapon the enemy has. He wants to control your mind with lies and fear and deception and anger and hatred. In that lies his plan, but unfortunately the One who is in us is far, far greater than he who is in this world.
Seek the Holy Spirit in everything. Your decisions, your ideas, your thoughts, your hurt, your sorrow, your anger and even your joy. He is beyond all and knows all and sees all. That is why Jesus said “I am sending you someone like me. The comforter. The Holy Spirit”. Let Him be the one you turn to all the time.
Have an awesome day.
