A Life With No Fear

Can you imagine a life with no fear?

Fear corrodes our confidence in God’s goodness.  We begin to wonder if love lives in heaven.  If God can sleep in our storms.  Does He care?  Fear unleashes a swarm of doubts, anger-stirring doubts.

In the middle of a raging storm Matthew 8:26 tells us:  “Jesus got up in the boat and gave a command to the wind and the waves, and the sea became completely calm.”  

He handles the great quaking with a great calming.  The sea becomes as still as a frozen lake, and the disciples who witnessed it are left wondering, “What kind of man is this?  Even the winds and the waves obey Him.”  What kind of man indeed.

Jesus doesn’t want you to live in a state of fear.  Hysteria is not from God.  God has not given us a spirit of fear!
