Let the Lord be your fear

“Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.” - Isaiah 8v12-13

Conspiracy theories are rampant amongst many conservative Christians. Some of them seem to find a conspiracy around every corner. Some seem to delight in coming up with new conspiracies. This mindset is nothing new. Back in Isaiah’s day people were blaming a conspiracy for Israel’s problems and many were living in fear of these conspiracies.

God gives an answer to this, a very simple one. Even if there are a load of conspiracies out there we are not to be afraid of them. They really have no power over us. We shouldn’t even give them a mention. Don’t spend all your time on those conspiracies and all that stuff, instead, fear the Lord. If you want to worry about something, worry about your walk with the Lord and do something about it.
There is a lot more to be concerned about than conspiracy theories – walk in the fear of the Lord and seek to please Him and all the rest will fall into place.
