TO WHOM THE FEAR?

Proverbs 3:25-26 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. (26) For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

When God plunged the whole world into a flood of water, He kept Noah and his family safe. When the mighty God of Israel battered Egypt with plague after plague, He spared the land of Goshen. When the walls of Jericho tumbled and fell at the sounds of the shofars, Ahab’s house stayed untouched.

Oh, may we not trust God today also? May we not trust our mighty God to protect us? He is getting ready to again shake the earth; He said, everything that can be shaken will be shaken. Already today we can feel the mighty shaking of God. Moral values are reversed as the Word of God is either adulterated or all totally ignored. Will such a generation be spared the shakings of God? Probably not.

But we, who have put our trust in God through His Messiah, should not fear the shaking to come. If our eyes are fixed on His sound wisdom, on His knowledge and discretion, Why should we fear?

It is the wayward disobedient children who need to fear the judgments of the Father, not those who stay close to him and live in line with His Instruction.
