Fear not, says the Lord.

Grace and peace to you who are loved by God,

""Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”" Joshua 1:9 ESV

"For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will lift me high upon a rock. " Psalm 27:5 ESV

"Out of my distress I called on the LORD; the LORD answered me and set me free. The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? The LORD is on my side as my helper; I shall look in triumph on those who hate me." Psalm 118:5-7 ESV

"fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
"For I, the LORD your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you.” " Isaiah 41:10&13 ESV

"“Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom."" Luke 12:32 ESV

How absolutely awesome is He whom we serve. What amazing promises. Who is it that leads you through the good times and the hard times, it is GOD. Who is it that will never leave you or forsake you, it is GOD. Who is it that has promised to be your strength when you feel as though you can't go on, it is GOD. Who is it that has promised to help you stand strong and courageous in the fiercest affliction, it is GOD. Who is it that has promised to make you fellow heirs with Christ, to the kingdom, it is GOD. Who is it that has promised life everlasting, in His presence, it is GOD.

Can you spot the theme here? The Lord your God is great and mighty and He loves His people. And He goes about showing it with acts of undeserved mercy, kindness, help and grace. What more could you need to be confident and sure in the midst of whatever comes your way? You are not alone, never have been and never will be.

Hallelujah! What a savior. Hallelujah! What a friend. Oh what joy to trust in the only wise God.

For the Joy of Your Faith,
Teagan
