Fear is the enemy of faith. It is therefore essential that we “fear not”. A clear pattern in scripture when an angel brings a heavenly message to earth, is the admonition to “fear not.” This is so fear does not drive out faith. The disciples were overcome with fear and understandably so given the violent storm that arose on the waters. The problem was that they did not cleave to the word that was spoken by Jesus, when he said “Let us cross over to the other side.”

May it be for you as it was for Paul when he was in peril — For there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve, saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar; and indeed God has granted you all those who sail with you.’ Therefore take heart, men, for I believe God that it will be just as it was told me. Acts 27:23-25

Although the storm had raged for fourteen days, of which they had not seen the sun. Yet the word of God gave Paul assurance, that he was able to impart to the others.

May others remain calm because of the faith they see in you!
