Day 237: Numbers 21:34

"The Lord said to Moses, Do not be afraid of him, for I have delivered him into your hands, along with his whole army and his land. Do to him what you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon." ~Numbers 21:34, NIV

God has probably given you a victory in the past. A challenge similar to the one that you're facing that you've overcome. When King Og of Bashan and his entire army went out to meet the Israelites, this was certainly true. They'd already defeated a couple of kings. Armies? No biggie. Except for, you know, the chance of dying.

But the truth is, if God helped you win last time, won't He do it again? And why should you be afraid of Earthly rulers anyways?

And even if God hasn't helped you defeat a king before - whatever that king metaphorically stands for - He's probably done it once for another one of His children. Geez, maybe He did it in the Bible! And if He's done it once, then clearly He can do it again. And since the last thing He wants is for you to live in fear, then He'll probably do it for you, unless you need to learn something.

And even if you do need to learn, remember that part about God loving His children? He's not going to let it break you. And I know I ask this a lot, but what are you afraid of?
