Fear Not!

 Verse of the day

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

Meditation

Life can be a rollercoaster of highs and lows. We can feel buffeted by the storms of life, from illness to anxiety, job changes to relationship issues. Our faith may waver, but God is always with us, as promised in Isaiah. When the storm passes, we can find peace and rest in Him, just like the morning after a wild night- the sky is clear, the waves are gentle, and all is peaceful.

Prayer

Lord Jesus, be with us today, in times of difficulty and in times of peace. Let us be comforted by the assurance that You are always close. Amen.

My Thoughts

I love this verse in the bible because it is a constant reminder that God is always with me. When I'm doubting a situation and I've got so much fear in that moment I can reflect back on this and remember that I'm not alone and my God is bigger than the fears I have. Fear is a liar. Fear comes from the devil and the devil is a liar. We all go through things in this life but we can hold on to the hope that Our God is bigger than all things we face. God will never leave you or forsake you. We may have little faith in those hard times but it doesn't take much faith. Even the size of a grain of mustard seed is all the faith it takes. If you can "muster up" at least that much faith you're doing good. See what I did there. Find your peace in God today and rest in Him knowing that He is there for you and He loves you.
