Topic: Do Not Fear
Bible Verse: “Take heed, and be quiet; do not fear or be fainthearted for these two stubs of smoking firebrands … Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah have plotted evil against you … It shall not stand, nor shall it come to pass.” – Isaiah 7:4-7 NKJV
April 12, 2022 Bible Verse | Inspirational Message & Prayer
Inspiration Message: Judah had every reason to fear. They were vulnerable and knew it. Their fears intensified when their ancient rival Syria allied with neighboring Israel. Then, the two nations “went up to Jerusalem to make war against it” (v. 1). Looking at their resources, Judah realized they really could not defend themselves. It was a desperate situation.
When they sought God, He revealed that He had a distinct perspective. He knew the situation. He had heard the threats of the leader of Syria. (God called the leaders of Syria and Israel “two stubs of smoking firebrands.”)
But God reminded them that He was greater than any nation. They did not have to worry about any threats. They didn’t need to be afraid or fainthearted, anxious or worried. Instead, He wanted them to focus on Him and trust Him.
Today we might face situations that cause fear or worry. But the Bible reminds us that in every situation, our response should be to turn to the Lord, commit these situations to Him, quiet ourselves and seek His face. Pray and seek His wisdom, help, and protection. Have faith.
Do you face circumstances that worry you? Troubling problems or adversaries? Commit them to God. Ask Him for His peace and wisdom, protection and guidance. Know that, in Him, you can be strong. He is with you. Trust Him to give you victory.
Prayer: Father, thank You for delivering me from fear. Thank You for Your protection, blessing, and peace. I trust You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
