Be Not Afraid

Today I read Deuteronomy 19:1-23:7 and John 6:4-32. My favorite verses are:

Deuteronomy 20:4 For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.

John 6:20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.

God is with you if you are a Christian—one of His children saved by faith in His Son Jesus Christ. His Spirit dwells within you. The promises given in His word are as true for you today as they were for those He spoke to in the Bible. He fights for you against your enemies; He is on your side. But some of His own children are not expecting Him to come to their aid. When He comes, they are frightened because they do not understand that He wants to take care of them. To them He says, as Jesus did to His disciples in John 6, “It is I; be not afraid.” Let God come to you and be with you and protect you. Don’t be afraid!
