From Spurgeon's "Faith's Check Book"077-Fear to Fear |
"Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord." (Jeremiah
1:8) Whenever fear comes in and makes us falter, we are in danger of falling into sin. Conceit is
to be dreaded, but so is cowardice. "Dare to be a Daniel." Our great Captain should be served by
brave soldiers. What a reason for bravery is here! God is with those who are with Him. God will never be away
when the hour of struggle comes. Do they threaten you? Who are you that you should be afraid of
a man that shall die? Will you lose your situation? Your God whom you serve will find bread and
water for His servants. Can you not trust Him? Do they pour ridicule upon you? Will this break
your bones or your heart? Bear it for Christ's sake, and even rejoice because of it. God is with the true, the just, the holy, to deliver them; and He will deliver you. Remember
how Daniel came out of the lions' den and the three holy children out of the furnace. Yours is
not so desperate a case as theirs; but if it were, the Lord would bear you through and make you
more than a conqueror. Fear to fear. Be afraid to be afraid. Your worst enemy is within your own
bosom. Get to your knees and cry for help, and then rise up saying, "I will trust, and not be
afraid."
