“WE WILL NOT BE AFRAID” [Ps 46]

“God is our refuge and strength, a helper who is always found in times of trouble. Therefore we will not be afraid, though the earth trembles and the mountains topple into the depths of the seas.” vs1-2

There is a healthy amount of fear allotted to us, but we’re to fear God and not man. Let us do our duties fearlessly.

First, do not be afraid [vs1-3]. When the gospel hits us, and we realize that we have eternal life, then cease your fear.

Fear is for the ungodly, but we bring our fears to Christ and trust Him in the midst of them. We are not people who hear the gospel but DO NOT apply it. No, what we hear, we live by. What we imbibe as doctrine, we take into the life. We are not forgetful hearers but doers of His word. Let faith work in you and fear go out. God is on your side! He’s died for you. He forgives you of sin, so what have we to fear, when we have His promises?

We confess our sin, obtain reconciliation, and then we are fearless. It is the Lord, so let Him do as He pleases, and we will rely on His wisdom and power, His exceedingly great and precious promises [2 Pet 1:3-4]. God controls tomorrow and all answers of good and bad, so we will not fear what comes. Submit your ambitions to Him and be fearless.

Secondly, the only thing that matters is God is with us: Immanuel [vs4-7]. He says, “There is a river--its streams delight the city of God, the holy dwelling place of the Most High. God is within her; she will not be toppled. God will help her when the morning dawns.” It doesn’t matter who comes against us, even the pains of death! I’ve read so many stories of saints suffering valiantly, and while I don’t want to be tortured to death, I know that God will be with me to give supernatural strength, if I look to Him.

Look at Stephen, looking up and seeing the Son of God standing to receive Him [Acts 7:55-56]. Look at the tortured martyrs who sang in the flames and held their profession against cruel persecution, and look up to God. Tomorrow’s adversity will have a sufficient God. Today’s troubles have Him too.

Are you concerned about what it will cost to follow Christ - to be faithful to the local assembly and to leave false religion? Are you concerned about what people will say, or even do to you for renouncing Islam? Do not fear: God will be enough.

You don’t have to post pictures of your baptism or fly into downtown Baghdad, but do what God’s called you to do and be faithful unto the death. Count no honor - not even life itself - higher than the testimony of Christ borne faithfully by you. Do not look to help from man: If it comes, then wonderful; if brethren stand with you, then praise God, but if they turn against you, be like the woman who poured the expensive perfume on Christ, and do it for your Master; it was never for their approval [John 12:1-8].

Grace will see you through.

Thirdly, cease, desist, and stop your fighting [vs8-11]. He says, “Be still/Stop your fighting--and know that I am God, exalted among the nations, exalted on the earth.” Here, we have a call from the Almighty to stop our worry and fear. Let the enemies keep quiet, because He is mighty, but even if they will not, let us turn our attention to Him. The salvation of the righteous is OF THE LORD. The advancement of the church is OF THE LORD! Therefore, we can be happy - calm, rested, and at ease. We can cast our burdens on the Lord and know that He cares for us. He says, “Casting all your care on Him, because He cares for you [1 Pet 5:7].”

Men will use this to desist from duty, but sinners will always corrupt the word of God. Let the righteous use it to rest, as we labor… to trust Him, as we preach… and to look up, while our hands are busy on earth. We have a God to fight for us, so let us preach with all our might, and pray too. Let us love sinners and be faithful, knowing that God is going to do as He has promised. We don’t have to fear what they can do to us: God is mighty and will do as He has said.

We are worry free when we are trusting. We have a faithful God that’s too wise to err and too good to do wrongly.

Finally, you have read the message. How will you apply it? Will you fear?
