Many times, people miss some of God’s greatest creations because of fear. Some people don’t take the opportunity to see foreign lands because they’re afraid to fly. Some people miss some of the most beautiful beaches because they’re afraid to be on a cruise ship. Some people miss some of the greatest adventures and thrills because of fear.

My question is, why???

In my opinion, the fear is not in the action of flying or cruising. At the end of the day, the fear is death. Some people magnify the fear of death over the Word of God. God instructed us to not be afraid (Isaiah 43:5). Psalm 28:7 says God is our shield or protection. Luke 10:19 says nothing by any means shall harm us. Jesus died on the cross and took the power of death away from Satan. This means, for the believer, death has no power over us. With all these scriptures regarding no fear and God’s protection, we should not have any reason to be afraid.

So, enjoy life and experience new things. Be a part of what God created and remove yourselves from the Spirit of fear.

Romans 8:15 For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”
