Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. Revelation 1:17
Charles Spurgeon makes an important point about one of Jesus's initial instructions to John when He said, "Fear not." Spurgeon wrote, ""Fear not" is a plant which grows very plentifully in God’s garden. If you look through the lily beds of Scripture you will continually find, by the side of other flowers, the sweet, "Fear nots" peering out from doctrines and precepts even as violets look up from their hiding among places of green leaves. "Fear nots" bloomed in the old times at the feet of Abraham when he returned from fighting with the kings."
God has been telling us throughout time to "Fear not." It doesn't matter if it was Old Testament, New or today, we're to "Fear not" because He's with us. I know it's easier said than done at times, but that's why He reminds us so often.
Join me in reading Revelation 1 and "Fear not"!
