Fear, worry, deception, and strife are the Satan’s big guns, his big weapons. They are involved in just about everything he does.
As long as we are part of this world, at one time or another, no matter who we are, no matter how young or old we are, we are all going to have to deal with fear in our lives.
How we respond to that fear makes all the difference. How do we deal with fear? When the opportunity comes along to fear we must resist it.
Fear does not come from God. God is not the author of fear. God Is Love. 1st John 4: 7 – 8, 16
2nd Timothy 1: 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (NKJV)
When the Bible talks about fearing God it is Talking about reverential fear which is one of the definitions found in the dictionary.
Merriam-Webster Dictionary:
Fear:
1a: an unpleasant often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger
b(1): an instance of this emotion (2): a state marked by this emotion
2: anxious concern : SOLICITUDE
3: profound reverence and awe especially toward God
4: reason for alarm : DANGER
Psalm 56: 10 – 11 (Amplified Classic) In God, Whose word I praise, in the Lord, Whose word I praise, (11) In God have I put my trust and confident reliance; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
All fear is self-centered. It always focuses on self. Love is others centered. It always focuses on others.
Whenever our focus is on ourselves rather than others, we have the foundation necessary to produce iniquity and sin. That foundation of iniquity and sin opens the door for fear to function and rule.
