Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 2024 July 29

Don’t Fear

“Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.” (Proverbs 3:25-26)

Today’s Morsel: Fear seems to have gotten its grip on many today. Jesus said that in the last days: “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.” (Luke 21:26) Notice what He said, their fear is due in part from looking at the things which are coming upon the earth. The earth is spinning out of control. Good is evil and evil is good. Tornadoes, hurricanes, stress of nations. And as Paul told Timothy: “But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.” (2 Timothy 3:13) The Lord cautioned us to not be afraid of sudden fear and the desolation of the wicked when it comes. We must keep our focus on Him and what He is doing. Don’t ever think the wicked will get the upper hand over the church. The gates of hell shall not prevail against us. Stay focused. Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. “And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.” (Exodus 14:13-14) You need to tell fear it’s time for him to leave. Get your praise on!

Sing: Standing on the promises of Christ my King, through eternal ages let His praises ring; Glory in the highest I will shout and sing, standing on the promises of God.
Standing, standing, standing on the promises of Christ my Savior. Standing, standing, I’m standing on the promises of God.

Thought For Today: “Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” (Luke 12:32)
