Don't be afraid of fear

Je 51:46 - Let not your heart faint, and be not fearful at the report heard in the land, when a report comes in one year and afterward a report in another year, and violence is in the land, and ruler is against ruler.

Don’t listen to the papers, the news or the gossip. Don’t listen to the predictions or the fears of man. Don’t listen to bad reports from anyone. Nothing is bigger than God. Nothing is more true than His words. Trust in God and His word as your answer and security. If we fear God as the only one worthy of fear, than you will not need to fear anything.

1 Ch 21:30 - But David could not go before it to inquire of God, because he was afraid of the sword of the angel of the Lord.

I think this is a great example of the only thing that is worthy of fear. Fear God only and be afraid of Him only. Rest in his His power, control, and his goodness.
