For The Moment…99

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name.

That at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Amen and Amen again.

Philippians 2 verses 5 to 11.

It Will Not Come Near You. What Are You Afraid of?

Yet to Be #297

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.

Fear Not – With God We Have Everything

If we have God, we have everything.

Yet To be #199

Standing on the threshold of tomorrow with no idea of what will come.
Knowing something will happen.
And, yet, knowing nothing.
Joy is up, and light follows prosperity and security.
Indulgence gives way to pride, and forgotten is the Rewarder of all good gifts.
Woe to those when their joy is squelched, their light is snuffed, and their soul grow lean with doubt.
Fear not, though your fields are bare, and your bags have holes.
If you have God, you have everything.

And God said, fear not, I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. Genesis 15 verse 1
