20th March, was 'International
Happiness day'. It was the happiest day as, Nirbhaya got justice after 7years
and few month. Nirbahya's parents, friends, and to say the whole country,
especially girls were quite relieved and happy, because; the 4 convicts, who
gang raped her were hanged. According, to her mother as her name says; she was
a fearless girl. But, Alas ! poor Nirbahya was caught up,... Pet 5:8" Be
alert and sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion
looking for someone to devour."
We human beings, have to face
challenges daily of different sorts. The world, is presently going through a
rather tense situation, the main highlight 'Covid-19'. Fear has gripped
everyone. It is an emotion which causes the adrenaline to rush. Fear can lead
to stress. It is also known as phobia. Different people have different phobia.
But, anxiety and fear is not a
solution to it. Good hygiene, good nutrition,
rest, good sleep, and prayer are the precautionary measures; which will help.
People, around are living in phobia. Fear breeds fear. The person, who feels
fear is good as dead'. In Hindi we tell 'jo dar gaya voh mar gaya'.
Do not fear, or fear not has been written, 365
times in the bible. God, is reminding us everyday, through different
verses for all 365 days. My child, do not worry or Don't fear. Actually, this
emotion of fear started very long ago in human history during the time of Adam
and Eve. They sinned, and this caused a fear in themselves, so they hid among
trees, thinking God, won't see their nakedness. They feared, a God who is
omnipresent, and knows all your secrets. Even, the thoughts which run across
your minds.
If you fear that, you will fall from
scooter or cycle, you, overcome that fear by; putting a helmet, In the same
way, we can overcome the fear by; keeping God's promise close to our heart, and
mind always. It, is one of the most
popular weapon, for an enemy that he uses. But, if you trust God, and have a
strong faith, then like the psalmist David you too can say, Ps 23:4 "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."
Worry,
and anxiety can overwhelm us, and cause dark shadows over our head but, if;
your focus is on God, no distractions going around, can remove your peace, and
paralyze you with fear. Depend, and trust on God. He, is in control of
everything. Focus, on 'Jesus' and run your race, for the victory set before
you.
2 wks back, I wrote, about how God, provided
food, for the prophet Elijah. He, knew God is with Him to feed Him. God,
prepared a widow to give him food. We, can see how Elijah told, the widow in 1Kings17:13 " And Elijah said
unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little
cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy
son." For, he knew God has ways to feed him.
In the life of David, he overcame His
fear, by the trusting the Lord, and the spirit of power filled him and he
killed Goliath. Is : 41:10 says "Fear thou not; for I am with thee:
be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help
thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."
Dear
friends, Whenever fear surrounds you, say a memory verse and then see the
magic. Let us bow down before the Lord our maker, Repent your sins, Praise Him, Believe on His promises, Trust Him, and
pray to Him, let His will be accomplished in our lives. Let holy spirit
guide you to overcome all your fear, and that you may stand without blemish
before Him. Please do share with your friends and family to overcome ear and
find solace in their heart.
Thanks
Ann
