But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I give Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in exchange for you. Because you are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you, I give men in return for you, peoples in exchange for your life. Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east, and from the west I will gather you. I will say to the north, Give up, and to the south, Do not withhold; bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the end of the earth, everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.” (Isaiah 43:1-7 ESV)
Is it easy to not live in fear?
In the day and age we live in, there are ample times and reasons every day for us to fear our very existence. People are gunned down in the streets that have nothing to do with the crimes that got them killed. They were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
We can easily get caught up in the evil and darkness around us. We will always go through valleys and pains in our lives, however we do not have to live in fear.
We can live a life of love and not fear because we have the promise that God has named and claimed us and because of this we can live a life filled with love rather than fear of what might happen. We can live without fear of what will happen because no matter what happens God will be with us.
So live without fear because you are God’s!
