July 26, 2021 UCB Word For Today Devotional : Topic - Refuse to be fearful

--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

Refuse to be fearful

25 JULY 2021
‘Do not look at his appearance or…physical stature.’
1 Samuel 16:7 NKJV

We pride ourselves on our ability to judge people and situations based on appearance – and lots of time we’re wrong. Goliath issued the same challenge to Israel for forty days: ‘Send me your best fighting man, and I’ll kill him. I’m the champion. I’m the greatest.’ That kind of fear-based thinking applies to every giant you encounter in life.

Chuck Swindoll writes: ‘Fear and worry…don’t come just once; they come morning and evening, day after day, relentlessly trying to intimidate. They come in the form of a person, a pressure…a worry…fear that hammers on your heart…day in and day out, yelling across the ravine in your own personal valley.

Few things are more persistent and intimidating than our fears and worries…especially when we face them in our own strength.’ When picking Israel’s next king, God told the prophet Samuel, ‘Do not look at his appearance or…physical stature.…For the Lord does not see as man sees;…man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart’ (v. 7 NKJV).

As human beings, we look at what’s on the outside and form opinions based on what we see. Goliath was a giant with a booming voice and lots of bravado – three traits designed to instil fear into the bravest heart. But God was neither impressed nor intimidated by him. And what’s more, He gave David the ability to see Goliath through His eyes. Fears are like babies; the more you nurse them, the bigger they grow. Once you start seeing the giants in your life from God’s perspective, they lose their power to immobilise and intimidate you. So refuse to be fearful.

Luke 13:22-35, Psalms 74-76
