FEAR AND HOW TO DEAL WITH IT!

Matt 24:6-8

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Luke 21:26

26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

The word “troubled” in Matthew 24:6 is the Greek throeo which means “to wail; to clamor; to frighten.” Jesus, as reported by Matthew, says not to yield to this kind of panic because “the end” is not yet. He does, however, go on to say that these are the beginning.

Ps 91:4-6

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness.

Dear Lord, calm the fears of your people today. AMEN
