God's Names & Attributes

After a lengthy time of prayer yesterday, I feel God telling me to take a break from posting the UPG of the day.

All across the world, there is overwhelming fear and anxiousness. Although there are lots of Christians demonstrating the peace that only Jesus can give, there are too many that are struggling.

According to one website , the most frequent command in the Bible is “Do not fear / Do not be afraid”. It occurs 70 times in the NIV. When we violate a command in the Bible, the Bible calls it sin. But for some reason, we explain away fear as something that is acceptable.

Paul said in Philippians 4.6-7:

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (BSB)

I am firmly convinced that God has everything under control. When we are anxious and afraid, it shows that we don’t know who He is, His character.

So, for the foreseeable future, instead of posting the UPG of the day on social media, I will be posting one of God’s names or characteristics.
