![]() “Fear not.” (Revelation 1:17) “FEAR not” is a plant which grows very plentifully in God’s garden. If you look through the lily beds of Scripture you will continually find by the side of other flowers the sweet “Fear nots” peering out from among doctrines and precepts, even as violets look up from their hidingplaces of green leaves. “Fear nots” bloomed in the old time, at the feet of Abraham, when he returned from fighting with the kings. Melchisedek blessed him, and the Lord comforted him. “Fear not, Abram. I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.” A “Fear not” was spoken to Isaac when he had dug wells, and the Philistines strove for them, and he, like the meek soul that he was, gave them up one by one to avoid a conflict. At last he settled down at Beersheba, and there the Lord appeared unto him, and said, “Fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee.” The Israelites at the Red Sea were afraid of Pharaoh, and then the Lord said to them, “Fear not, stand still and see the salvation of God.” If you are brought to a pass today, and know not what to do, take the advice of Holy Scripture, and “Fear not”; but “stand still and see the salvation of God.” GiGi❤️ Retrieved from Charles Haddon Spurgeon March 9, 1880, Revelation 1:17, From: Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit Volume 26
