Without Fear
Today’s Reading: Luke 1:67-79
Focal Verse: Luke 1:74
To grant us that we,
Being delivered from the hand of our enemies,
Might serve Him without fear…
Some people are afraid of God. Pagan people in Biblical times were so afraid of their false gods that they would sacrifice even their own children in an attempt to “appease” them. Even today, some people envision God waiting to strike them with a lightening bolt.
The one true God sets us free so that we can worship and serve Him with no fear. Just as God delivered Israel from their enemies so that they might serve without fear, He sent His Son to set us free from sin that we might also serve without fear. We don’t have to fear this world (John 16:33). We don’t have to fear death (1 Corinthians 15:54). Because of His tender mercies, He sent His Son into the world so you could serve, not in darkness or fear, but in light and peace.
If you are living or serving in fear, meditate on these verses.
Pass on the good news of His deliverance of us from fear.
