Do Not Be Afraid

Deuteronomy 20-22

After 40 years of close fellowship with God, Moses knew that God could be trusted and that there was no need to fear or be afraid of anything that stood in the way... as long as God's commands were followed. He tries to pass on that knowledge to the Israelites, but they don't really get it. They, like we, think that he is simply espousing a righteous way of life, but he really is telling them to trust in the Lord. It is sooooo hard to really convey to others a heartfelt belief that does not conform to the ways of the world in a way that others will truly believe. Most people march to the beat of the world's drum and are incapable of comprehending a different beat.
