Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the Lord; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar. Jeremiah 30 verse 10A.
Or
Therefore fear thou not, O my child of God…
I will save you from afar.
God may not be physically here as in flesh and blood, but his arm is not short.
And his promises are real.
His promises are true.
He is still able to save.
He can still keep you safe.

For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. Jeremiah 17 verse 8.
No matter the circumstances.
No matter what is happening in the world today; war or rumors of war, poor economy, inflation or natural disasters;
God will see us through.
He protects his own.
He cares for his children.
He will never leave us or forsake us.
A thousand shall fall at our side and ten thousand at our right hand and it will not come near us.
We only need to believe.

Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. Jeremiah 17 verse 7
The Lord is Hope.
In him, we have everything we need.
With arms wide open he never refuses;
And never disappoints.
Where there is trust, hope follows.
Sometimes we cannot see the big picture, but if we look at the little things and see how easily they fall into place, we will glimpse that big picture.
Then we will know that he is all-sufficient.
And then we will realize, we lack nothing.
Because we are blessed.

They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. Jeremiah 10 verse 5.
Some people are good, and in all appearances, they do well.
They are not the ones to fear.
They will do nothing; they will say nothing, nor do they see anything.
They have no life within them.
They will neither be against you or be for you.
They are like a vapor; here, one moment, then gone the next as if the vapor never existed.

Be not afraid of their faces for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord. Jeremiah 1 verse 8.
Slip your hand in mine as I walk with you.
Put your full trust in me, and you will never be disappointed.
Says the Lord my God.

In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear; and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. Isaiah 54 verse 14
What do you fear?
Homelessness, unemployment, loneliness, poor health, death?
Whatever it is we have all faced the cold steely eyes of terror;
That dark emotion called fear grips your heart;
Torments your mind until you begin living in a constant panic about something you dare not name;
of something too great for you to keep in check; too dangerous it invades every waking moment.
until it descends deep into the bowels of your soul, of your very being.
You cannot eat; you cannot sleep.
Consumed with a myriad of paralyzing thoughts, life becomes bleak at times even, unbearable.
Fear Not.
You are not alone.
There is help.
A very present help when you are in trouble.
He is our help. Jehovah Ezer.
He is our shield. Jehovah Magen.
He is our provider. Jehovah Jireh.
He is our healer. Jehovah Rophe.
He is our protector. Jehovah Nissi.
He is our peace. Jehovah Shalom.
Fear Not.
From the sun’s rising to the same setting, praise the Lord.
Obedient from first to last, he came to do the Father’s will.
He knew he would shed his blood for the sins of the world.
He knew that on the cross, he would be forsaken by God because of God’s holiness and how God can not look upon sin.
Yet, he died on the cross.
And God pleased with the son of his love, raised him from the dead.
And placed him at his right hand in heaven. There, he lives.
Behold my servant, whom I have chosen, my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him. Matthew 12 verse 18.

Oh, Lord, with praise and joy, I give thanks.
I do not deserve thy goodness.
I live in fear and anxiety about things I cannot control.
Yet, when I cry to thee and call upon thy name, I feel a peace that surrounds me;
I breathe and move forward.
Not knowing what will happen or where I should go.
But belief inhabits my heart, and I trust thee.
So, I give thanks.
Yet To Be # 295
People may voice their disapproval with you when you walk in faith with the Lord.
Don’t worry about them.
Keep believing in the Lord and trust him where you can not trace Him.
He will keep you safe and be your salvation forever.
Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.
Isaiah 51: 7
