As the Cock Crows


Matthew 26:34, Mark 14:30, John 13:38, "Jesus said, 'This very night before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.' "

Fear of the unknown has many repercussions. But, there are healthy fears as well as unhealthy fears. Unhealthy fears can bring many problems whether it is mental or physical. These kinds of fear involve deep rooted worries and concerns as well as anger beyond control not to mention complete withdrawal from everything. 

Fear can also be healthy in that it protects us by making us stop and think before we do something that can be detrimental. The Bible speaks of a healthy fear which brings blessings:

"Fear the LORD... 
Deuteronomy 6:2, Proverbs 10:27...serve Him only so you may enjoy long life."
Psalm 25:12...He will instruct the way you should choose."
Psalm 34:9...You will lack nothing."
Psalm 111:10...is the beginning of wisdom."
Proverbs 1:7...is the beginning of knowledge."
Proverbs 8:13...is to hate evil."
Proverbs 15:16...is better than wealth with turmoil."

We also should have a healthy fear of the LORD because of His Glorified Purity. It is He that has made us and not we ourselves. Psalm 139:14, "I am fearfully and wonderfully made."



Psalm 91:4-6, "He (GOD) will cover you with His feathers and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear terrors of the night nor danger by the day."

Matthew 23:37, Luke 13:34; Jesus shares, "How I often longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing."

Anytime danger approaches a hen's chicks, she calls out and they scurry under her wings. 


Acts 2:21, "Everyone who calls on the Name of the LORD will be saved. "   Are you?
