Fear is a real thing.

September 17, 2025

Fear is a real thing. Fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat. In this life of ours there are many things that can cause us to be fearful: a loved who is sick, loss of your job, financial difficulties, an illness you have, loss of a loved one to name a few. And when we become fearful, we think how come life is so unfair. When this occurs, we shake our head and say, “Why God! Why” But life is life. Life can be good and wonderful, or it can be hard and fearful, because we do not know what the future holds. So, no matter what life throws at you, remember God is with you in all situations and circumstances. God is the one sure thing in this life of ours. Psalm 46:1-3. 10a reads, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in times of trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth should change, though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea; though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble with its tumult…Be still, and know that I am God.” Isaiah 41:10 tells us, “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 victorious right hand.” Sometimes, we just need to be reminded that God is always with us. He is there; all you have to do is turn to Him. He will see you through! God Bless. Amen.
