When you're anxious about your economic future or health prospects, your sinful nature is turning in on itself. That's understandable, but when we are lost in our fears we need a heavenly message to direct us to more confident living. We are like Moses but the goal is to be more like Jesus. There's a lot for which we rightfully can be punished. The child who has misbehaved is fearful when hauled to the principal's office.
Fear has to do with punishment.
The message that comes down from heaven is that God has already done the punishing. That's what Gethsemane and Calvary were all about. To serve you, not to serve Himself, Jesus gave His life as a ransom and paid the price for all your sins. Yes, bad things do come our way but God is not punishing you. God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform.
