It’s no secret that our world is going through a scary time right now. Millions of people are sick, and hundreds of thousands have died. It can be really easy to become scared or anxious during this time. I’m sure a lot of you are probably worried about you or someone in your family getting sick. And while I understand that fear wholeheartedly, Jesus commands us 365 times in the Bible to not fear. We have eternal security in Christ. We need not fear the things of this world. As I said, there are 365 “do not fear” scriptures in the Bible. But today, I’m going to give you a few of my favorite. Here are ten reasons why you shouldn’t be afraid or anxious; even during a pandemic.
1. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. 2. Isaiah 345:4 …be strong, do not fear; your God will come… 3. Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. 4. John 14:1 Do not let your hearts be troubled… 5. Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go 6. Luke 12:22 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life…” 7. Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you….Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. 9. 1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 10. Psalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. This post was relatively short, but I feel like the scriptures speak for themselves. Our world is suffering from a deadly crisis right now, but we can have peace and security through Christ.
