365 DAYS!

Genesis 15:1 TLB

Afterwards Jehovah spoke to Abram in a vision, and this is what he told him: "Don't be fearful, Abram, for I will defend you. And I will give you great blessings."

 

“Do Not Fear”: God’s Daily Encouragement.

The Bible is the most accurate library in the universe. Every single detail is well-planned, systematically, and strategically placed by the Lord. As 2 Timothy 3:16 says, “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.” This means that whatever topic you’re searching for—from the Old Testament to the New—you’ll find it in the Bible. Everything is covered.

The Bible is inexhaustible! You can study any topic, theme, story, place, or person and be occupied for a lifetime. Yet, there is a phrase God has woven throughout the entire Bible to give us daily encouragement, if we choose to receive it: “Do not fear,” “fear not,” or “do not be afraid.”

There are 365 days in a calendar year. While you could study any subject and not go beyond a few months, the Lord, in His wisdom, provided daily encouragement through His Word—if we search for it. He has given us words to help us stand firm and not give up.

Do not fear!

The devil creates all kinds of situations to strike fear in our hearts, but we must remember that there’s nothing to fear but fear itself. Fear is often just “false evidence appearing real”—it can work against us if we take our eyes off the Lord.

God knows the thoughts and situations that trouble us as stated in Psalm 94:11 and understands that some of them can create fear. That’s why He went ahead and prepared nuggets in His Word to lift us up and help us when we are afraid.

The first time God said “do not fear” to mankind was in our text. This was right after Abram had returned from defeating the kings in chapter 14 and had great spoil. Why would the Lord tell him not to fear? Perhaps God knew something was coming that would scare Abram. As always, the Lord steps in to encourage and strengthen us before we even reach our crossroads.

This is the earliest recorded instance where God directly tells someone not to be afraid. It marks the beginning of a recurring message throughout the Bible, where God reassures His people in times of uncertainty and fear.

Every day, we wake up to things that can cause us to fear or to doubt the Lord. But in His great mercy, God gave us this encouraging phrase for our daily strength, making it one of the most repeated phrases in the entire Bible.

What is that fear that is crippling you to the point of wanting to give up? The Lord is saying to you: “Do not fear.”

Sadly, many believers either don’t know what this phrase means, or they struggle to believe it—especially when facing situations that seem too big, sometimes even bigger than the Lord. But be encouraged: the Lord walks with us and stands beside us in all the storms of life. As declared in Isaiah 41:10: 

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

If we have a relationship with the Lord, we can be assured of His continual presence, His help, and His sustaining power in any fearful situation.

- Do not fear what anyone—man, spirit, or circumstance—can do to you according to Psalm 118:6), because the Lord is by your side.

- Do not fear any attack or accusing tongue; they are already condemned declares Isaiah 54:17.

- Remember, those who dwell in the secret place of the Most High as seen in Psalm 91:1 have nothing to fear, as Deuteronomy 31:6 promises: “The Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Fear not!

PRAYER: Lord, thank You for the assurance that You are with me always and there is nothing to be afraid of, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
