I just saw this on Girl Talk Blog and thought it fit right in with our study:
"No, do not fear."
"Surely I may show some measure of fear?"
"No, do not fear."
Tie this knot tight around the throat of unbelief:
"Do not fear."
"Do not fear" today.
"Do not fear" tomorrow.
"Do not fear" any day of your life.
When fear comes, drive it away and give it no space.
When the weather is rough, passengers on a ship can be comforted by the captain's calm behavior. One simple-minded soul said, "I am sure there is no cause to fear, for I heard the captain whistling." Surely if the captain is at ease, the passengers can be at peace. If the Lord Jesus is at the helm singing, do not fear. "Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him" (Ps.37:7). "Be strong, do not fear! Behold, our God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God; He will come and save you" (Is.35:4).
--Charles Spurgeon
