429 Times!
I did a word search on the word “fear” in the Bible. I thought it was really cool that “fear not” is listed 365 times! That’s one verse a day reminding us not to fear.
There is nothing that our God can’t do. If God is for us, then who can be against us? So fear shouldn’t have a place in our hearts.
So we have 365 examples of “fear not”. Even better than that, the word “peace” appears 429 times in the Bible.
So not only should we not fear, but even more so, we should have peace!
Examine your heart today. How many times did fear creep up in your heart? How many times did you feel at peace in your spirit?
