Fear Not
By: Robert A. Searles
Thus saith the LORD to Israel, through the prophet Isaiah, at a time when they were in great distress and fear of their enemy.
"The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever." Isaiah 40:8
The word and promises which God has spoken to Israel and to the nations of the world a long time ago were meant to stand forever . Forever means yesterday, today and tomorrow, and forever. Therefore, when we fear being shipwrecked on the angry sea of life, or destroyed by our enemy, we are admonished to be quiet; to renew our mind; and to cast our anchor out on the solid rock of God's eternal promises.
If we will draw near to God, he will draw near to us. Let us be of one mind as brothers and sisters as the children of God in the house of God and plead our case before God and seek his righteous judgment, and help one another. "Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment." Isaiah 41:1
"They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage." Isaiah41:6
"For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee." Isaiah 41: 13
"Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness." Isaiah 41:10
"Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish." Isaiah 41:11
"Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought." Isaiah 41: 12
