I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 30th of March, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Book of Haggai 2:5 and the Lord says: ”According to the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so My Spirit remains among you; do not fear!” Did you hear that, mother? Did you hear that, dad? Did you hear that, young boy? The Lord says, ”Do not fear.” Then we go straight to the Book of Hebrews 13:6. So we may boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”  What a beautiful promise! The Lord promised the Israelites, when He took them out of Egypt, He said that, ”My Spirit remains with you,” and it is still with His children, even today. So do not fear. The only thing we need to fear actually is fear itself. That’s absolutely true. In Philippians 1:21, Paul says,”For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” Now, I think you’ve heard me say this before, but you cannot frighten a Christian with heaven. So if we live, we live for Jesus and with the Holy Spirit, and if we die we go home to be with Jesus. It’s a win-win situation.I looked up the Oxford dictionary to find out the meaning of the word “fear”. It says, “an unpleasant emotion caused by the threat of danger”. Not danger, the threat of danger. You know the story of the cobra, that big snake, and the little mouse. Well, what happens is the cobra hypnotises that little mouse with fear. He gets totally paralysed and he can’t move and the cobra just slides up and just eats him. That little mouse could just turn around and run away, the cobra would never catch him, but he’s paralysed with fear.You see the opposite fear is faith. Fear paralyses a person but faith strengthens that person, and the Lord says without faith, you cannot please Him, and he who believes must believe that He is and that He is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6). So today, let’s walk by faith and not by fear. Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day, Goodbye.
