God said, “Do not fear, for I am with you…” Isaiah 41:10…

There is an age old news axiom that says, “if it bleeds, it leads.” The more tragic, horrific or fear inducing the stories are, the faster they will make the front page or lead the newscast. There is a reason Jesus said many times in scripture, “Do not fear,” for God knows that fear is just what the world loves to serve up on a silver platter. Thankfully, we have the antidote for such daily doses of fear: quoting scripture. Try saying out loud Isaiah 46:1, “God is my refuge and strength, my very help in times of trouble. Therefore,

I Will Not Fear.”

God also said in Isaiah 41:10, “Do not fear for I am with you.” Every day, we have a choice to make. We can give in to the fear the world loves to pump into our eyes and ears, or, we can believe God’s promises. Faith is a decision that comes with an amazing level of peace. Hand your fears over to God, and let Him hand you a life worth living.
