Fear can be good for us! Most of us don't like being afraid, but fear keeps us safe and from doing harmful things. It gives us a healthy respect for the things that are bigger, stronger, and mightier than we are.
Fear is spoken about over 500 times throughout the Bible. And mostly it says “FEAR NOT” or “DO NOT BE AFRAID”!
Joshua 1:9 tells us: "Here is what I am commanding you to do. Be strong and brave. Do not be afraid. Do not lose hope. I am the Lord your God. I will be with you everywhere you go.”
Bible verses about fear and bravery such as this one remind us that it is essential to turn to the Lord with any and all issues. Fear is good because it helps us to rely on God – one of the most important things you can learn in your life – to know that God is always with you.
Another reason fear is good for us is that it gives us the opportunity or chance to be brave. This week we learned about the Old Testament story of Queen Esther. She was put in a situation where she felt very scared but was very brave. God used Esther’s beauty, her intelligence, and perhaps even her respectful attitude toward her husband, as well as her remarkable, fearless faith to accomplish God's will. Esther prepared in every way she could and then chose to have faith in God, trusting that even if she was unsuccessful, she was doing the right thing.
She is a faithful and fearless example for us!
We recognized students who have shown this biblical trait of bravery by doing something hard, standing up for what is right even when it is difficult, or have been experiencing a challenging situation with courage. We can all strive to have a fearless faith! Let's encourage one another in doing so!
