The authorities–and media–of this world never grow tired of trying to frighten moderns with their many scary stories of doom, war, scarcity and/or the unknown.
OR who is watching/spying on them.
Even Satan (the dragon) spying on men is used to frighten them. BUT, most of the stories one hears are the stories of man (and/or man’s inventions) watching them; using surveillance; spying on them.
The CIA.
Google.
Drones.
The NSA.
Facebook.
The computer.
Practically all of the world’s spooky stories have their basis in the fear of man or man’s terrifyingly scary stories.
But man SHOULD fear only one thing: God Almighty.
Forget Satan and his scary stories (which seem to grow more numerous by the day): Fear God.
“Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.”
–Ecclesiastes 12:13
MORE: MANY Fear Man; FEW Fear God
Which reminds one of a long-ago conversation concerning Proverbs 10:27.
“The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.”
–Proverbs 10:27
Someone listed the number of worldly, obviously-evil men who had lived fairly long lives–as if this somehow invalidated Proverbs 10:27.
One reply was a question: “Doesn’t God know how much the years of the wicked were shortened?”
But what ended the conversation was “Maybe those evil men lived lives they WISHED had been shortened?!?”

Fear God.
Not Satan.
“And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.”
–Luke 12:4-5
Not man.
Not the inventions or creations of man.
Not man’s scary stories.
“The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.”
–Proverbs 29:25
HAS the reader been very concerned about being spied upon?
DOES the reader often wonder what he can do about such surveillance?
HAS the reader tried the solutions of man in order to achieve peace of mind?
It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
