The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion. — Proverbs 28:1

 One of the consequences of breaching the law is a loss of courage, to name but one. The fear of being discovered quickly takes the place of the audacity needed to disobey the law. Even when no one is pursuing us, we still find ourselves fleeing (Prov. 28:1). Eventually, our dread validates and exposes our guilt. 

God made it clear to His people in Leviticus 26 what would happen if they decided to disobey His commandment. He said that they would run "when no one pursues" (v. 37) and that they would flee at "the sound of a shaken leaf" (Lev. 26:36). However, He also left room for sincere repentance (vv. 40–42).

Our lack of a close relationship with God is demonstrated by fear. The first stage of healing is confession. God promises forgiveness if we confess our faults to Him (1 John 1:9). 

You'll learn that your fear will be running away from you rather than you by being honest with God. 

Few things inspire greater bravery than having a righteous attitude towards God. Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, oh my soul! My sin—oh the joy of this magnificent thought—my sin, not in part, but in its entirety, is nailed to the cross, and I carry it no more!
