Be Not Afraid

Carrie Judd Montgomery


Dr. Simpson was greatly used of God to thrust me out more fully into public service, that is, especially the platform work, although God had already made real use of my pen,” wrote Carrie Judd Montgomery (1858–1946) when remembering how A. B. Simpson had encouraged her ministry, especially in the early days. Their collaboration provides an inspirational picture of how a Christ-centered friendship can influence generations. ~~Written By: Jennifer A.

Now you are thinking of some great trouble in your life, and you are saying, 'Oh, Lord, I have no might.' Yes God knows that. 'Neither know we what to do.' Yes, God knows your helplessness, but will you not ... get your eyes off from circumstances, and get them upon God? Can you say, 'Our eyes are upon Thee?' Not upon circumstances, or this great company, but upon Thee. Then comes the answer from the Lord, 'Be not afraid: the battle is not yours, but God's.'
