Four Reasons to not be afraid.
v1
1.
Because the LORD is his name.
v1
The LORD - Yahweh - “I Am”
In Exodus 3:14 God introduces his name to Moses at the burning bush.
God’s people have an adversary or foe.
It is pharoah, King of Egypt, the most powerful man in the world.
God sends Moses to rescue his people from Pharoah.
The LORD is all powerful, all knowing, is present everywhere, never gets tired, depends on no one.
He has no beginning and no ending.
He simply IS!
No enemy can match him.
You do not need to be afraid because the LORD is his name.
2. Because the LORD is light.
v1
Now, darkness can be a scary because....
things are hidden to our sight.
someone or thing could be hiding or lurking.
The Bible talks about outer-darkness - The closest I have come to outer darkness is in a very remote place where I could not even see my hand in front of my face.
Our greatest enemy is Satan and he loves darkness and he prowls around like a lion.
But the LORD is characterized by light.
Jesus even says that I am the Light of the world in John 8:12.
Light provides guidance, protection, confidence.
Light always defeats the darkness.
Light travels at 670 million mph.
That means if we could put you in a special created vehicle you could circumnavigates the globe 7.5 times in 1 second.
Magellan circumnavigated the globe from 1519-1522.
Almost 3 years.
You do not need to fear because the LORD is light.
3.
Because the LORD is salvation.
v1
A major theme throughout scripture is the LORD saves, delivers, or rescues his people.
We may face trials and test, (James 1:17) but those who put their trust in the LORD always win, because God always wins.
The biggest rescue is from sin and the consequences of our sin.
You do not need to fear because the LORD is salvation.
4. Because the LORD is a stronghold.
v1
A stronghold is a place of security, strength, and stability.
Even if there is an army or war (v3) itself those who put their trust in the LORD can be confident (v3) and will be victorious.
You do not need to fear because the LORD is a stronghold.
