“I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.” (Psalm 34:4 NKJV)
God’s will is to deliver us from fear. When I was pregnant with Sarah, my son caught the measles. The doctor and everyone was frightened. They thought that I would catch them and that, through this disease, my unborn baby would be deformed.
I sought the Lord about it. I knew that God had given me this baby supernaturally. He had caused me to be pregnant even though the doctors had said that it could never happen. I knew that if God could give me a baby, He could also keep my baby healthy. I did not get the measles. Sarah was not harmed, and she leads a very normal, healthy life. It was only as I sought God that I was set free from fear.
Fear can be just like a pit of quicksand. The more you struggle in it, the deeper you sink. But once we realize that fear can be avoided and bypassed, then God is free to work His supernatural wonders in our lives. When you find yourself caught in the “quicksand” of fear, stretch out your hand to God and let Him pull you free!
Dear Heavenly Father,
Help us today to see You and recognize that fear comes from the devil. We will resist fear, in Jesus’s name, and be set free.
Amen.
