WHOM OR WHAT SHALL I FEAR


People are afraid.They are afraid of losing their health, wealth, mind, job, spouse or their children. They are afraid of the future, death, failure, rejection, evil, terrorists, growing old, crime, war, and many other things.
When the disciples' boat was tossed about in an angry storm, they were terrified. Jesus appeared, walking on the water. They thought He was a ghost. 
Matthew 14:25  "Be of good cheer; it is I. Be not afraid."
The disciples knew Jesus was God and had all power, wisdom, and knowledge, but they were living like He wasn't. They had not learned to depend on what they knew. 
Fear keeps us from enjoying all that God has for us. When we are afraid, we have given fear permission to control us. 
Jesus can bring peace to a fearful heart, just as He did on the Sea of Galilee. Look for Him in the midst of your fears. His words will calm you.
