"Don't worry Fear not"

18^th October 2007

Scripture: Job 3:25-26

What I always feared has happened to me, what I dreaded has come to be.  I have no peace, no quietness.  I have no rest, instead only trouble comes.

 

Observation:

It seems apparent by this scripture that this kind of disaster was always in the back of Job’s mind.  The things he dreaded the nightmare of his dreams was now upon him.  I wonder if he had ever shared or spoken to anyone about what he feared the most.  Where did this fear come from?  Why was he dwelling on a potential disaster, and was it when Satan had an open hand with Job Satan simply unfolded his worst fears?  Was Job his own worst enemy?

 

Application:

With Jesus in my life the word tells me to “Fear not” I am now reminded to bring all my doubts insecurities to God, all my fears and worst nightmares to the Father and have him speak peace into them that my Father would be strength and the Holy Spirit my comfort.  I don’t want any potential fears of disasters consuming any part of my thoughts.  Where I recognise these I must bring them before the Lord and consecrate them.

 

Prayer:

Father let there be no fear no nightmare of what the worst could be.  Let me have a confidence of my future and that you know my path and my destiny.  Let me always step into your plan, being the very best for things for good and not for bad.

 

Amen
