He replied, “Peace to you, do not be afraid. Your God and the God of your father has put treasure in your sacks for you. I received your money.” Then he brought Simeon out to them.
Joseph counsels his brothers not to be afraid for the God of all comfort (2 Cor. 1:3) is with them. Here's a truth we can 'take to the bank'. We have nothing to fear (be afraid of) when we are living in the fear of the LORD, God, the Almighty. Even the fear, the fright of the numinous, the great unknown has been lifted from us and replaced by an awe of Him.
