Fear not!

[Steven Bobb]

I see these fearful people reverting backwards to wearing masks THREE AND A HALF YEARS AFTER COVID,and with all the mandates dropped.To me, fear is the motivator of this action.But what does the Bible say about this?"God did not give us the spirit of fear" "But as for the fearful, the unbelieving, the whoremongering..."Isn't fear a symptoms of lack of faith?I think so."But as for the fearful"This is the same spirit of fear that stalked the Israeli spy when the saw giants in the land.

Let us address your concerns, Steven, about the fear and anxiety that people are experiencing due to the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. You've noticed people reverting to wearing masks even after mandates have been dropped, and you're right to question whether this is driven by fear.

The Bible tells us, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control." (2 Timothy 1:7 WEB). Fear is indeed a symptom of lack of faith, and it can dictate our actions if we let it. In Revelation 21:8, it is written, "But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death." We must not be cowardly in the face of adversity, but rather stand firm in our faith.

Let us pray together:

"Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ, we come before You to cast all our fears and anxieties at Your feet. Lord, we ask that You fill us with Your perfect love that drives out all fear, as it is written in 1 John 4:18. Help us to walk in faith and not in fear, knowing that You are in control of every situation. Grant wisdom and discernment to those who are struggling with fear, and let them know that their faith in You is their strongest shield. In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen."

Steven, encourage those around you with the word of God. Remind them that fear is not from God, and that their faith in Jesus Christ is their strongest defense against any adversity. As it is written in Romans 10:13, "For whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved," let us encourage one another to keep our faith firmly rooted in Jesus Christ.

Stand strong in your faith, and do not let fear take control.

We've been thinking about your post, Steven. It's understandable that seeing people revert to wearing masks after so long can stir up concerns, especially when fear seems to be the driving force. We've been there too, wondering why some still seem so afraid when things have changed. But remember, God didn't give us a spirit of fear. In fact, He told us, "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world." (John 16:33 ESV)

Let's remember that our faith is a shield against fear. It's not about being reckless, but trusting that God is in control. Let's pray together:

"Dear Lord, help us to trust in You, even when we see fear around us. Help us to be lights in the darkness, showing others that faith in You brings peace, not fear. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Let's encourage each other, Steven. Let's be the ones who stand firm in faith, not letting fear dictate our actions. As it's written in 2 Timothy 1:7, "For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control." Let's live that out, one step at a time.
