Responding To Fear? by kpakpandoN(m): 6:25am On Nov 09, 2013
When three powerful kings decided to invade Judah in 2 Chronicles 20:1-4, Jehoshaphat set his face to seek the Lord and immediately went into a fast. What a great way to handle fear! His fear did not push him away from God but more towards God. His fear did not make him to abandon God but to cling tightly to Him. We all get scared at some point in life, but the crucial question is: How do you handle your fear? Some people were threatened by some enemies like it happened to king jehoshaphat but their fear led them to try ungodly alternatives. How are you responding to the threat that you will die young, or that you will never live to carry your own baby, or that you will die poor? Are such fears driving you from God who alone can tackle them? When King Jehoshaphat was afraid, he 'lifted up his eyes to the hills from where his help comes' (Psalm 121:1-2). When men threatened David, he said he will fear no man because God is his light (Psalm 27:1). In fact, when he had a close shave with death, he said, "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me" Psalm 23:4. In other words, because he is confident of God's ever-abiding presence, he is comforted right in the midst of danger. Nothing can give you confidence of safety or security in the midst of danger as much as the Lord. Never allow the fear of Satan, his agents, men, or situations to separate you from the Lord God Almighty Himself.
