Enabled for the Evil Day - Fear

Fear is a very real thing, but there is an evil day when that fear overwhelms us. One of the first things Paul wrote to Timothy was "God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."—II Tim. 1:7.

There is an evil day of temptation, an evil day of doubt, and an evil day of fear. But there is an answer to this fear; and under the inspiration of God it comes from David himself:

"What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee."—Psalm 56:3.

We need the Lord more than we realize. We need authority in our lives, but we need to understand that God places authority over us to be our protector. When authority is in place, it will help us; but we also need the armor of God for our protection. 

We ignore the Lord's instructions to our own destruction. If we neglect to do what God has told us to do, we will pay a heavy price. 

We must "put on the whole armour of God so that we may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand."
