The Most Often Repeated Commandment In The

Donald Miller

The most often repeated commandment in the bible is 'do not fear.' it's in there over two hundred times. that means a couple of things, if you think about it. it means we are going to be afraid, and it means we shouldn't let fear boss us around. before i realized we were supposed to fight fear, i thought of fear as a subtle suggestion in our subconscious designed to keep us safe, or more important, keep us from getting humiliated. and i guess it serves that purpose. but fear isn't only a guide to keep us safe; it's also a manipulative emotion that can trick us into living a boring life.
