Gosh and golly, RING, RING, RING… “your warranty is running out…blah, blah…” This is a message that is repeated almost daily via spam robo calls to my cell phone. I choose to ignore these daily nonsense calls.

However, there are at least 103 messages in the Bible (KJV) repeating to you DO NOT BE AFRAID! I’d say those (at least) 103 reminders qualifies for “paying attention” to His message. I choose NOT to ignore God’s inspired Word to me. In a world where the devil has power to lie, torment, create divisiveness and stir up fear, I choose to opt for those 103 reminders, repeated messages within the Bible to NOT BE AFRAID.  Knowing there is an army of angels surrounding me, knowing God never leaves me or forsakes me, knowing His rod and staff are there to comfort me…I do not need to be afraid.

Read God’s Holy Word.  Find the 103 messages that remind you not to have fear.  Let those permeate your being.  Strife, anguish, troubles, frustrations, big problems, small snags, ARE GOING TO HAPPEN, but you do not need the burden of FEAR.  Trials and tribulations are part of life in this fallen world. Remind yourself through Christ you can do ALL things.  You can stand on His promises.  You can embrace His repeated message DO NOT BE AFRAID.  Where there is faith, there is no room for fear.  Jesus loves you unconditionally.  Do not hang up on Him.  You can tune out the robo calls in your life, but stay steadfast in your faith journey.  I repeat, “Do not be afraid!”
