And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him, and said to him, “The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valor!”
Judges 6:12 (NKJV)
A prolonged condition has the ability to shape the mindset of a person. We come to accept an identity, condition or image that is totally contrary to who we are. The case of Gideon comes to mind who together with his folks had become a slave to fear and their oppressors. Because history corroborates the situation or our long-gone folks confirm it doesn't mean that we have to accept the status quo. The Lord's report to all His children is "I am with you" and His love for us is perfect and one in which there's absence of fear. The peace we get from His love and word swallows all of our concerns and worries combined. Fear must be seen for what it is and put in its right place.
