Several ancient tribes in the South American region worshiped the sun as their god. The sun is considered the source of their life. So they were very scared when suddenly something covered the sun and everything became pitch black. They think the god is angry. But, what actually happened was a solar eclipse. So the fear is actually due to their ignorance.
Often times we also have fears that actually stem from our own ignorance. When facing problems, we often limit God with our own understanding. Like the ancient tribes who were afraid because everything became dark due to a solar eclipse, we are also afraid when everything seems to have no way out, we forget that we have a God who is the Greatest, who is able to overcome everything.
When we accept God in our life, God has guaranteed our life. So actually there is nothing we need to be afraid of anymore. As children of God, you shouldnβt be afraid of problems. When everything seems βdarkβ to us, direct our eyes to Him and hold on to His promise that He is the one who can solve all our problems.
βLet not your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.β
