Fear Not


Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Isaiah 41: 10

No matter how dark it becomes or how troubled the times are, we who know Jesus do not need to be afraid. Always in Him there is hope and the rays of His light of hope shines upon us, rises up within us. He has promised us to never leave us or forsake us, that He is with us to the end. We have His word that tells us that His perfect love for us cast out all fear. We, like David may say, though I am afraid, yet will I trust Him. He is faithful and true and can be trusted. We choose to trust in Him, we choose to place our confidence in Him, we choose to hope and have confidence in Him, we choose to believe His word to us. We learn that He can be trusted. We learn to not depend upon ourselves or others but like a child we turn to Him. We cry out Abba Father and He moves all of heaven on our behalf through His Son Jesus according to His perfect and wonderful will. We do not always understand, but we trust because He has proven Himself faithful to us. So great a love He has for us. So amazing is His grace. So today, think about His love and think about His grace that is so sufficient for us. Christ in us the hope of glory. Let our eyes and ears be open to see and hear Him who is in us and know we are hid in Him. Know we are a new creation in Him. Let the Holy Spirit reassure our whole being that we are the children of God, we are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Let our perspective be what His perspective is, setting our minds on things above and not on the things of this earth. We have the mind of Christ, so let us be renewed in the spirit of our minds as we present our bodies to Him as living sacrifices. This mind of the Spirit is life and soul peace. The light of His life within us shines through . The rays of hope anchor our souls. Be at peace, be not troubled, for He is for us, not against us. We are made overcomers in and through Him. We are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. See and hear the Victor, He is in us. Grace to all, grace, grace to the mountain of human obstacles. Nothing is to difficult for our God and Father.
