2nd Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
The general spirit of fear, and panic does not originate with God, as the Bible says. In the general panic that has struck the nation some may forget that God is still in control of events, and as such, His will is going to get done any which way, for He rules and overrules in the affairs of men. We may be in danger of losing sight of The Lord who sits on the throne of the universe.
Do not be afraid of any mortal man, for we are just dust, and when we focus on what man might do, we can become panicked, and may lose sight of the fact that God is still in control. This is what happened to all the children of Israel in the wilderness as they saw in the distance, the hosts of pharaoh coming behind them. The went into full blown panic mode and in this state of mind they lost sight of the Almighty God in the pillar of cloud, and fire, and they murmured to return to Egypt.
In our day we may be seeing pharaoh, not merely in the distance, but right upon us, nipping at our heels, yet, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is still on His throne. Let us therefore know for certain that at the end of the day, His will alone will be done, and because of this, we may rest assured. Therefore, we can hope for the best but prepare for the worst, as God decides if and when things would come to a head.
1st John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear hath torment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
