Love conquers fear!

“Out of my distress I called on the Lord; the Lord answered me and set me free. What can man do to me? The Lord is on my side as my helper; I shall look in triumph on those who hate me. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes. All nations surrounded me; in the name of the Lord I cut them off! They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side; in the name of the Lord I cut them off! They surrounded me like bees; they went out like a fire among thorns; in the name of the Lord I cut them off! I was pushed hard so that I was falling, but the Lord helped me”. “Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you”.

“Have you not been paying attention? Have you not been listening? Haven’t you heard these stories all your life? Don’t you understand the foundation of all things? God sits high above the round ball of earth. The people look like mere ants. He stretches out the skies like a canvas— yes, like a tent canvas to live under. He ignores what all the princes say and do. The rulers of the earth count for nothing. Princes and rulers don’t amount to much. Like seeds barely rooted, just sprouted, They shrivel when God blows on them. Like flecks of chaff, they’re gone with the wind”. “Will not the judge of all the earth do right?”. “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand”.

(Taken from Psalm 118, Deuteronomy 31, Isaiah 40, Genesis 18 and Isaiah 41 in the Bible).

Stand in Your Love ~ Bethel Jusic & Josh Baldwin: https://youtu.be/MHLEZzyAZrI

Oh the monumental power and peace we have in Gods presence and promises! The liberty from fear and the strength to endure … the inner calm to accept, and the knowledge that God’s ways are far above our understanding yet still for our ultimate good. Rooted firmly in his love, we can surely conquer any fear.
