Fear Not
Did you know that the Bible tells us “fear not” 365 times? That’s one for every single day of the year—a daily reminder from God that we are not meant to live in fear, but in full trust of His plan. From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture reassures us that God is in control, and when we rely on Him completely, we can walk in faith, not fear.
God’s Design: Trust Over Fear
Fear is not from God. 2 Timothy 1:7 tells us, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” When we allow fear to take over—whether it’s fear of the future, of sickness, or even of daily struggles—we lose sight of the fact that God is our provider, our healer, and our sustainer.
Instead of giving in to worry, we are called to lean on Him:
“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:7)
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” (Philippians 4:6)
Healing Begins When We Align with God’s Natural Design
Just as God designed us to live free from fear, He also designed our bodies to function in alignment with His creation. For thousands of years, people thrived on whole, unprocessed foods—nourishing meats, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and grains. It’s only in recent history that we’ve filled our diets with artificial ingredients, preservatives, and chemically altered “food products” that our bodies were never meant to consume.
Yet, even in the midst of modern convenience, God calls us back to His natural provision:
Genesis 1:29 – “Then God said, ‘I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.’”
Psalm 104:14 – “He makes grass grow for the cattle, and plants for people to cultivate—bringing forth food from the earth.”
When we return to the foods that God created for us—wholesome, nourishing, and free from man-made alterations—our bodies can begin to heal. By choosing natural, unprocessed foods, we honor the way God designed us, allowing our bodies to function as they were intended.
Living in Faith, Nourishing with Purpose
Faith and wellness go hand in hand. When we remove fear and fully trust in God’s plan, we experience peace. When we fuel our bodies with the pure, natural foods He provided, we experience health.
As we move forward, embrace a life free from fear, knowing that God holds our future. Let’s return to the nourishment He intended, trusting that healing—both physical and spiritual—begins when we align with His design.
Fear not, and trust fully—because He is faithful.
