Biblical Truths
In Ephesians 6:10-18 we are instructed to put on the full armor of God, the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, shoes to stand firm, the shield of faith, the helmet of God’s saving power and the sword of the word of God.
Nowhere in that passage does it suggest that we put on any sort of armor to protect our backside as we turn and flee in fearful retreat.
Follow along as we make our way through scripture to identify those passages that demonstrate and direct us to not be afraid, to not worry or be anxious… to be strong & courageous… to have a worshipful fear and awe of God… to have faith and trust in God.
You will laugh when things are being destroyed. You will enjoy life even when there isn’t enough food. You won’t be afraid of wild animals. You will make a covenant with the stones in the fields. They won’t keep your crops from growing. Even wild animals will be at peace with you.
Job 05:22-23 (NIrV)
Biblical Truth: Though we may stumble we need not be afraid, for we have a peace that allows us to be encouraged by the power and greatness of God, even during trials.
