Scripture
Isaiah 41:10, 13-14
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. Do not be afraid, you worm Jacob, little Israel, do not fear, for I myself will help you,” declares the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
Observation
Fear H3707 יָרֵא1 yārē’ to be afraid, be frightened; to revere, respect; to be awesome, be dreadful, be feared; to frighten, terrify, intimidate
Application
Fear tries to set in but you won’t let it grip you. You prepare your weapons. You gather as many as you can. You crouch behind a tree and hold your breath and say a quick prayer. You let your breath out, pick up your weapon, and let it FLY! The snowball hits its target…SPLAT! The snowball fight begins! Fear is a normal and natural response. God never expected us to not feel fear. What he expects is for us to not let fear set in and take over our lives. So, it is OK to see fear but there is no reason to run. Face it! Pick up that snowball and hit Satan right in the face! SPLAT!
Prayer
Lord, feeling fear is a natural feeling. Thank you for being right by my side when it hits. With you, I never have to let fear overcome me. ~Amen
