July 7 ~ I HAVE NO REASON TO FEAR:  BE NOT AFRAID OF THEIR FACES

Jeremiah 1:8 “Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.” 

In a 2018 article in the Christian Post, writer Stoyan Zaimov identified three fears that keep Christians from telling others about Jesus.  Of these fears is the fear of being mocked or upsetting others.  The prophet Jeremiah experienced mockery, ridicule, and even death threats because he carried an unpopular message of impending judgment to Israel.  But as the Lord was with Jeremiah to help put his fears to rest, the Lord is with you today.  Don’t be afraid of the faces of men, but be sober and ready to witness, in love and conviction, that Jesus is soon to come for a people who have made themselves ready for His return.
