DO YOU KNOW: You can live without fear.

Living Without Fear

The frequent question I hear today is, how can I live without fear? What if I told you that, you can live without fear? I know, it sounds like someone is trying to sell a snake-oil gimmick or someone is trying to pull a fast one on us. We want to live in peace and experience justice in our lives when others do wrong to us.

I would like to invite you to join me as we meditate on the Word of God and look at one verse. Isaiah 41:10 NIV.

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.

Isaiah 41:10 NIV

Distinguishing Between Gimmick and Truth

I would encourage you to look at the three universal truths that I have adapted in my life to distinguish between gimmick and truth.

1. We Trust People Because of Our Relationship with Them.
2. We Trust People Because of Their Reputation.
3. We Trust People Because of Our Personal Experience with Them.

Trusting God in the Light of the Universal Truths

I would encourage you to consider who you are and who God is. I would ask that meditate on the following.

1. We Trust God Because of Our Relationship With Him.
2. We Trust God Because of His Reputation–God’s Word, Work and the testimony of the Old and New Testament Saints.
3. We Trust God Because of Our Personal Walk with Him.

God’s Purpose for Our Lives

1. God wants to give us the spirit of quietness, settlement, and ever placing our trust in Him.
2. God wants us to rely on Him.
   1. We need to know that God is always in Control.
   2. Even though our circumstances are unpleasant and dreadful, they are not outside of God’s plan.
3. He wants us to continually serve Him.
   1. Purpose of fear at time is to distract us from our purpose and duty.
