Proclaimers of God's Word: Dr. L. Nelson Bell
Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice, for the LORD has done marvelous things!
Do not be afraid....Joel 2:21-22
Recommended Reading
Isaiah 41:10-13
Dr. and Mrs. L. Nelson Bell (whose daughter Ruth would marry evangelist Billy Graham) were medical missionaries in China who found themselves in dangerous straits when the Japanese invaded in 1938.
On Christmas Day, Nelson wrote his mother in America, saying: "This past Thursday it was my time to lead the foreign prayer meeting, and I talked about the place of physical fear in the life of the Christian. Last week it dawned on me that our Lord, tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin, hungered, thirsted, was tired, became angry, and gave every evidence of His humanity, but He was never fearful. Fear, therefore, must come from lack of faith--sin. Just as we never become sinless, so we never entirely lose fear, but it surely is His will for His children to live with peace in their hearts, trusting in Him and His promises."
1If your mind is vexed by various fears and alarms, remember that Jesus is not afraid. All is under His control and you are in His safekeeping.
I think the greatest tribute to mother's courage is that we children never sensed fear and we ourselves never had any fear.Ruth Bell Graham1John C. Pollock,
A Foreign Devil in China (Minneapolis: World Wide Publications, 1971), 191, 81.
