Jesus knew how easy it was to give in to fear. He knew his disciples were going to be facing many scary situations in the future, so one day as the crowds were gathering around (a day like so many other days for his disciples); he took the time to say these words to them:
"I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." Luke 12:4-7
When you're facing a scary situation, just remember God loves you and He will not let ANYTHING happen that is not ultimately for His glory and your good--even if you can't see how it could be. You can trust Him, even when you don't understand.
