Why Are You Afraid?

Why are you afraid? What are you afraid of? Some are afraid of failure, death, disease, financial collapse, or divorce. Others are afraid of things like spiders or snakes. The point is that many are living in fear. In Genesis chapter 15 God confronts Abram about his fears and declares, "fear not." We are told in scripture to not be afraid some 366 times! Thats one time for everyday including leap year. Abrams fear was that he would die without an heir to recieve what God had given him. He was old and still did not have a son. What was he to do but give his inheritance to the son of his servant. God had a different plan. He promised Abram that even though he was old, he would still have a son. He promised Abram that his inheritance would pass to his own children. Abram took God at His word and his fear passed. I don't know what is causing you to be afraid today, but I speak the Word of God to you today, "fear not." Don't let fear get a grip on you. It will disable you and keep you from going forward. Have faith in God today and keep moving. God bless
