Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.”
Luke 2:10 NKJV
“Do not be afraid.” That was a common opening line when an angel visits a person in the Bible. It’s not because they teach it in Angel 101 class. It’s because the typical response of a person upon seeing an angel is fear.
The natural response to something supernatural is fear. I find myself faced with something I can’t control or understand and it freaks me out a little. But I want to live in the supernatural power of God. The answer to my conflict? ‘Do not be afraid.’ Control my fear.
Jesus, Work powerfully and supernaturally through me today. Amen.
