"Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?"
Is it your nature to be afraid of everything, at all times? Are you the type to be afraid of change? What happens when your physical well being or your environment changes? Are you afraid of what you can and can not eat safely? Does it bother you that what causes cancer and other ailments is different and changing all the time? Are you afraid to fly or drive on a freeway? Are you so afraid of sickness and death that you have stopped living? Maybe this is the right time to reflect on your belief in Jesus Christ, your Lord and Saviour. Ask yourself, why am I so afraid, Do I still have no faith?
There are storms in every life, but the Lord will be there with you every time. The Lord may let you stumble, but He will never let you fall, He will save you. You will be sick and infirm and eventually you will die to this flesh, but, Jesus will be holding your hand in this life and the eternal life to come. Death will have no sting and the grave will have no victory over you, for you will be alive in Christ Jesus. To be absent from this body is to be present with the Lord, and so will it be always. This is just a temporary life and situation that we must pass through. By being "born again" we can never die the second and eternal death. If you know this than what or whom shall you fear. If your focus is on the Lord, WHY ARE YOU AFRAID?
If you have full faith in the Lord and His Word you do not have to be timid or afraid of anything. If you trust in Him you can come to no harm, He will save you. Your attitudes reflect you inner belief's and your mouth will speak the abundance of your heart. If you are afraid of death or anything else it tells us that you do not believe or have trust in the Lord and His Word. Why would you question the Lord if you have faith in Him? Look inside and if you believe in God and His promises and His Word then, WHY ARE YOU AFRAID? Keep your focus on the things eternal and not the present temporary life. You are just passing through!
