Don't Be Afraid

Do you sometimes at night feel afraid?
I do.

There was a time when we were strong, young and able, when we weren't afraid of anything. We thought we could handle anything. Young people feel this way.

Now, however, we aren't so sure. There are so many dangers out there, and in here. We aren't as strong as we were. We are afraid of things beyond our control, and we don't have control of everything as we ought to.

Where can we go for help?
There is a place to go and something you can do about it.

Nehemiah 4:14, "Do not be afraid, remember the Lord."

Nehemiah was building a wall. There were a small number of His people working on it. They were rebuilding. All around them was the enemy. They were great in numbers and they didn't want that wall built. They threatened Nehemiah and his workers. They were afraid. Nehemiah had a word from the Lord.

"Don't be afraid, remember the Lord."

The message for us today is to remember the Lord. He is the almighty one. He is with you. If you are on the Lord's side, He will fight for you. All you need to do is to watch and work, and fight if you have to. God is on your side.

If you have come to Him and asked for pardon, believing that Jesus died in your place and for your sin. Then you can rest assured that He is not mad at you, he loves you, and He will take care of you.

When you are afraid, remember the Lord.
