Deuteronomy 3:22 "Do not be afraid of them; (The Lord tells His people not to fear the kings arrayed against them who lie between them and their promised destination. The meaning behind God's command not to fear what is before them is that, if they fear it, they are giving it reverence. When we choose to think thoughts that lead to feelings of fear, we are denying the power and truth of Who God says He is. He tells us emphatically that we are not to be afraid of what lies before us, no matter how powerful it seems. In fact, the King James version words the phrase this way: you shall not fear them. The Lord is giving His people and us a strong command that we shall not yield to fear.) the Lord your God Himself will fight for you."
(Then He says why His people don't have to fear.
In the Hebrew, the meaning is that God declares a vow to them and us in a forceful, resounding, uncompromising, and commanding manner that He Himself will go before us to fight for us.
When we really stand on the truth of this declaration,
how can we fall into the foolishness and wasted emotion of fear.
Here is why we don't have to fear today.
These are only some of God's attributes identified through His very Own Names:
Yahweh, the I AM WHO I AM; El Shaddai, the Lord God Almighty and All-Powerful One; Elohim, the Only Sovereign God With Incredible and Endless Power and Might; El Elyon, the God Most High, the One Who Reigns Supreme; Jehovah Nissi, the Lord Is My Banner and Victory Who Protects, Leads, and Delivers; Jehovah Sabaoth, the Lord of Hosts and Ruler Over All; Jehovah Jireh, the Lord Will Provide All My Needs.
How can we possibly sink to fear when we look to the LORD
Who is a personal, covenant-making God Who Has Made Covenant With Us.)
