Fear not
Genesis 15:1 After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
Before God's reassuring words, Abram had faced trials and uncertainties. Likewise, in our lives, we often experience challenges, doubts, and fears.
But it is important to remember that God's message of "Fear not" comes after the "things" we go through. God sees our struggles and is ready to address them.
God's message was not a human invention or a mere coincidence. It came directly from the Lord. This reminds us that God communicates with us through His Word, prayer, and inner conviction. When we seek Him, we can hear His voice and receive His guidance.
The first thing God says to Abram is "Fear not." In a world filled with anxiety and uncertainty, these words resonate deeply. God is not the author of fear; He is the source of courage and strength. When we trust in Him, our fears can be replaced with faith.
God assured Abram that He would be his shield. In the same way, God is our protector. He shields us from harm and danger. When we walk in faith, we can trust that God has our back, and He will never leave us defenseless.
God promised a reward to Abram that was beyond his imagination. Similarly, when we trust in God and His promises, we can expect great blessings. God's rewards may not always be material, but they are always greater than we can fathom.
Just as Abraham who waited on God for a son, many have been waiting on God for one thing or the other, some have given up when the situation seems impossible. The word of God is coming to you today that you should fear not. He will bring to pass all His promises and will give you great reward for your patience.
In conclusion, Just as God comforted Abram, He comforts us today. We can face the uncertainties of life with courage and faith, knowing that God is our shield and that our reward in Him is exceedingly great. Let us take this message to heart, casting aside our fears and embracing the promises of our faithful and loving God. Amen.
God bless you.
