Is. 43 [The Message]

This is the famous “Fear not” chapter in the Bible. We wonder, “Are the Israeli soldiers reading or quoting this passage as they enter a very dangerous war?” Quite possible!

Fear is a paralyzing emotion. It alone will contribute heavily to defeat before you even enter the fray. The Psalmist said, “Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I WILL FEAR NO EVIL, for THOU art with me.” This is the solution to eliminating fear … knowing the Lord is with us. Daniel didn’t fear the Lions because God’s angel had shut their mouths. The three Hebrew boys in the fiery furnace had the Son of Man with them in the flames.

A simple prayer asking for God’s presence in times of trouble is the key. He’s as close as the mention of His Name. JESUS!
