Title: Fear Not
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. – Ephesians 6:10
Be strong in the Lord. On the night Jesus was arrested, He had just come back from praying to the Father on the Mount of Olives. Jesus knew what was ahead, and the Bible says He was in deep anguish, even sweating drops of blood. He prayed, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me.” Still, just as today’s verse encourages us to be strong in the Lord, Jesus accepted what He was called to do, and an “angel appeared to him and strengthened him.”
I read that the words “fear not” appear in the Bible more than 200 times. Fear is a part of life. Even Jesus felt fear. But like Jesus, when we follow God’s will, He gives us the strength and courage we need to face anything.
