Mathew 10:16-33
Three times in this passage Jesus says don’t be afraid (26, 28, 31) In the reading a few days ago he contrasted fear and faith as he quieted the storm (8:26).
When he tells us not to fear he is also saying to have faith. If he wants us to have faith, why didn’t he just say have faith? Perhaps it is because we can relate to fear better. I know I can.
So what fears are ahead of me today? No, No—specifically—what fears are my fears today? Right now? I need to identify and confess them. Then turn to Jesus and trust him in faith.
