The Living Word Study On Fear

I have learned that there are many fears. There are fears of flying, heights, spiders, snakes, small spaces, being left alone, dentists, public speaking, water, dogs, germs, plants, marriage, darkness, etc. You can become fearful. You can have victory over your fears. I noticed a pattern of fear, as it is addressed in the Bible. The two most common references to fear are to 1) fear God, and 2) not to fear the stuff of this world. It seems most of the references to fear fall between these two directions. Some "fear not" chapter headings are: Fear Not Fear, Fear Not Creation, Fear Not the Gospel, and Fear Not Lack. Some "fear" chapter headings are: Fear the Creator, Fear the LORD our God, and Learn to Fear the LORD. One chapter that was helpful to me was The Fear that Brings Confidence. There are also: The Duty to Fear, The Shield of Fear, the Treasure of Fear, and Fear that Saves. Whether you struggle with what not to fear, or learning to fear God, I pray that you can find help in this study. May God bless you in His word.
