Isaiah 41:10, Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God, I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”

 

Rock and roll singer, David Crosby, has died 1 day after he stated that “heaven is overrated. I wonder what he thinks now after entering where he will spend eternity! No judgment just a thought.

 

Isaiah 41:10 was said to be the verse of the year last year. Here is the problem – I forgot to write down the source where I read this. Anyway, I thought it would be interesting to explore this verse and see how it can help us as we walk on the  narrow way. I looked up the words “Fear not” in the Blue Letter Study Bible and found that these two words are found 365 times in the Bible. I thought today we would look at what the Bible says. I am going to write every verse and will use only the part of the verse with these two words. It will be up to you to read the entire verse if you desire.

 

Genesis 21:17, “Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is.”

“Do not fear!” “Do not fear!” “Do not fear!” “Do not fear!” “Do not fear!” “Do not fear!”

Did you read the words and understand we are not to allow fear become part of our lives as we walk with the Lord on the narrow way to His kingdom and to eternal life. God is with us, guiding us, through everything we face. He is continuing to cleanse and purifying us through the circumstances and trials we face each day. Do not fear!
