We need to Close our eyes, imagine God right in front of us, imagine him holding our chins and directing our eyes to look right into his eyes and he says to us, Son, Daughter: “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” (Isaiah 41:10; KJV).

Wow, that brings tears to my eyes. When God says I am he means it; when God says I will, he will. Fear not, cast every care on him (1 Peter 5:7). God is greater than anything that can come against us (1 John 4:4). He is our strength (Isaiah 40:31) and help in time of trouble (Ps 91:15).

“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He who feareth is not made perfect in love” (John 4:18). If we have perfect love it removes fear from our lives! Wow, sounds like one of those impossible heights to reach. However, if we read the context of John 4:18 (John 4:15-17), we see that the perfect love of God dwells in us!

So, imagine God’s mighty arm of righteousness around you and his perfect love in you. Now confess: there is no fear here. O dear Lord, you have preached me happy, time to run around my office again.
