Do not Let Fear Win - Daily Devotional by Max Lucado

The fear-filled cannot love deeply. They cannot give to the poor; benevolence has no guarantee of a return. They cannot dream wildly; what if their dreams sputter and fall from the sky? Fear paralyzes people.

Are you afraid? Afraid of a job loss? Afraid of what people are saying about you? Jesus wages such a war against fear. In Matthew 10:28 he says, “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.” In John 14:27 Jesus says, “Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”

Fear’s main goal is to keep you from God’s plan for your life. Don’t allow it to win! Punch fear in the face! If anything should be afraid, it should be fear itself.
