He is for you, so who can be against you? (There's a lot packed into that statement.) He supports you so that you can stand 'warriorously victorious'. So why fear?
Is 40:6-8 "All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades, when the breath of The Lord blows upon it; surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever." So why would we bow down to and try to appease flesh and fear man rather than The Lord and submit to His eternal word?
Hear His voice. Take heed. Listen for His heartbeat, which beats for ALL. There is a message of love for all to hear- a broad, broad ocean of deep love and truth (a straight plumb line of 'how' to live).
Walk in a manner worthy. Be unafraid to give of the hope you have, to those who agree and also to those who disagree and need it most. Be unafraid (not fearful) and courageously speak His words of truth and hope and joy. In this world you will have tribulations, but take heart; He has overcome the world (John 16:33). And as the world looks like it is in such disarray, that is a good word.
The enemy has been defeated by the Risen King. He took on flesh, "that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil.." Hebrews 2:14
Bring that truth into any and every situation and circumstance.
Pray. Trust. Believe. Be unafraid. Take heart. Stand on His Word. And courageously speak His Word, which stands forever.
