Fear Not For I Am With You

 

Fear Not For I Am With You.

Psalm 27:1/Psalm chapter 27, verse 1.

Top of Form

27 ‘The Lord is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?

Here in this Bible verse it is talking about fearing other people.

The Lord truly knows me and knows that when He asked me to share all that He has taught me, fear set in and I have kept all of these treasures hidden in my heart for quite a few years. But not anymore, it is time to share His truths. I will not live in fear anymore. It’s not that I don’t care, it’s because I care.  

Because of my fear of what might people think of me and that they might reject me for thinking so differently to them. For no one wants to know about our Father in heaven anymore because we have all been lead to believe that He is an angry God, a God of hate, judgment, condemnation, and fear. I don’t blame anyone for not wanting to know this type of God but these, as I have found out, are all lies that have been taught to keep us all away from truly knowing who He is.

For I have found that He is a God of love, a God of peace, a God of mercy, a God of truth, a God of comfort, and all He wants for us as any good, good Father wants for His children is to give us every good gift He has for us.

For me this is like taking of a mask that I’m sure we all have in some description that we live behind, that we even hide behind, to protect ourselves. And to reveal the true you, the true me. “Hello this is me”.

 John 14:27/John chapter 14, verse 27.

27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

This is a Scripture in the Bible that brings me great comfort in knowing that our heavenly Father wants us to truly live in His peace. This is far greater than the peace that the world knows. His peace is known as His Shalom peace.  This Shalom peace comes complete, for us to have complete peace. When I say complete peace it comes with healing, protection, comfort, and provision, all that we need to give us complete peace. Without healing, or protection, or comfort, or provision for whatever is bringing us to this fear, it won’t bring us peace. And then and only then we can feel His Shalom, true peace.

 Isaiah 41:10/Isaiah chapter 41, verse 10.

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.’

 This is a giant step for me, sharing my life, my thoughts, all the things Jesus teaches me about, His true ways of His love for us, His grace, His mercy, His Shalom peace, His comfort for us, in our times of fear. As I used to and still sometimes find myself living in some type of fear, which is not what we were made to live in.

Up until a few years ago I believed that we were to fear the Lord and I did. But then when I started learning all about Jesus’ love for us and His grace, it made no sense to me that we would have to fear the Lord, when He is our loving heavenly Father. And that He only wants to do good for us. This really didn’t gel with me. So I looked into what “fear” meant in the Bible and in that journey I found that the word “fear” has so many different meaning in the Hebrew and the Ancient Greek languages, depending on the context that it was written in (And you can find many teachings on this that go into great detail on the internet, so I won’t go into all those detail, I will let you do your own research and have your own journey). But the context that made sense to me was to “Fear the Lord” can mean reverence, revere, awe, respect, realization or even knowledge.

So next time when you read the Bible ask yourself which phrase belongs in with this text of “Fear of the Lord”. Does revere the Lord make more sense in this text?


This is some of my Bible Art Journaling that I have drawn for this Scripture I have wrote about today.

I pray that you would know that you are truly loved, 

I pray that the Lord will bless you abundantly with all you need for today.

Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. In Jesus name I pray, Hallelujah and Amen.

How I Built A Mountain with Toilet Paper And PVC Glue

                      How I Built A Mountain with  Toilet Paper                             And PVC Glue  There are many techniques to use to cover your mountains and hills, like using plaster of paradise or paper Mache using paper and home made glue. I did give much consideration into using one of these two techniques, but the technique I finally decided to use, was toilet paper and PVC glue. And I am really glad I have. Because now it is finished, it is as hard as a rock but light like fibre glass. It was kind of funny at the time choosing this technique been as in this time when I had decided to start doing this, toilet paper was very hard to get and you had to que up to buy just one packet. And no I wasn't one of those people that had an abundance of it left over and needed to figure out how to use it...
