The Fear of God Drives Away Any Other Fear

Genesis 22:14: " So Abraham Called that place the Lord Will Provide. And to this day it is said, "On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided".

I believe that the best antidote for a life of fear is to fear the creator of life. Note here that out of fearing God, Abraham found the courage to be obedient to God in spite of His request to sacrifice Isaac. At first sight this might've sound non-sensical, but fearing God, knowing that He knows best and He was the the writer of his life story prompted Abraham to obedience in spite of any fear or distrust. In the same way, complete abandon to God's will in our lives will help us live courageously, therefore victoriously according to God's standards.
