Key Words In the Bible – Fear
The Bible says that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the beginning of knowledge. This has misled many people, because the truth is that fear is entirely evil and is indeed the only enemy we have. You can heal any condition if you can get rid of the fear attaching to it. Trouble or sickness is nothing but subconscious fear out-pictured in our surroundings. It is true at all times that “we have nothing to fear but fear.”
How then do we account for the texts quoted? The answer is that in the Bible the fear of God means reverence for God, not fear in the usual sense of the word. Reverence for God is the beginning of wisdom. How do we show reverence for God? By seeing God everywhere, refusing to recognize anything unlike Him, and by living the Christ life.
Confidence is worship. You worship whatever you trust. Are you trusting more in fear or in God? What are you worshipping? That is the test.
Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace. (Job 22:21).
When gripped with fear and paralyzed with frustration and doubt, how does one achieve peace, contentment and confidence. The answer is one doesn’t achieve it, God delivers it. The first step out of fear is not a step but a prayer. When we turn our eyes to God and ask for help, the process has begun.Then, if we follow God’s will and direction, we are granted relief and then hope and then confidence for that day. This does not eliminate the problem, but gives us a way to overcome it day by day.
So each day we must seek God and follow him and God will provide that which we need for the day. Then, when enough of these days have passd, and we have learned and experienced that which we needed for our best good, the problem will be gone. That is God’s promise, that is what Christians believe and that is what we must practive each day to live in our gardens.
Praying first,
