Deuteronomy 3:21-22 -And I commanded Joshua at that time, ‘Your eyes have seen all that the Lord your God has done to these two kings. So will the Lord do to all the kingdoms into which you are crossing. 22 You shall not fear them, for it is the Lord your God who fights for you.’
Moses is still recounting the years gone by and and is now exhorting Joshua and he prepares to take over the leadership. I have found doing these blogs that the the exhortation to not fear is usually preceded by a reason not to fear. In this case, it is the evidence of a God unseen who has defeated two kings by his might. We shall not fear because what he did then, He has promised to do now. Therefore, we do not need to fear because it is God who fights for us. it is important to remember that before we fear, we need to remember the God who is worth fearing alone.
Fear God
Exodus 9:20 -Then whoever feared the word of the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh hurried his slaves and his livestock into the houses,
Fear moves men. Fear of God results in faith in his words.
