FEAR!!

Have you ever noticed that most of our fears are for the future? What about my job? Our money? The next health exam? Ours? Or that of a loved one? Will my children, grandchildren make wise choices? What does my future look like as I age? The world situation? 

I have heard it said that the Bible has 365 'fear nots'! One for every day of the year! God must know we'd have a tendency to fear!

 "Fear not,
for I am with you.
Do not be discouraged.
I am your God.
I will strengthen you.
I will help you.
I will uphold you
with my victorious right hand."
~ Isaiah 41:10 LAB

Bible commentary on this verse (in part) says: 

 "We need not fear because
1) God's presence is with us;
2) God has established a relationship with us.
3) God's assurance of strength,
help,
and victory
over sin and death is certain."
