We can not allow fear to rob us of what the Word of God clearly tells us is ours. The teacher goes over the example of the Israelites failing to enter the promised land due to the fear they had of what they saw with their senses and how quickly that fear grew. We are shown how Jesus Christ and Elisha did not let the circumstances cause them to be afraid when others were. Finally, the example of Abraham is presented and how he looked beyond what was in front of him and chose to believe the promises of God.
