Fear Post-6

We are facing the creation of a new world. All of us know it somewhere deep inside of us. This time of worldwide plague and quarantine has marked us all in different ways, but make no mistake it has marked us. The old normal is not going to return. We are faced with having to create a new normal. This should not scare us. God is in the business of ushering in new when the old falls apart. He did not do this to us. He is with us through it and as we trust Him He will bring us into a new time of strength and blessing. We have a longer road ahead of us. Let’s not freeze in fear in the middle of this unknown path. Let’s walk it together in hope of better days.

“Do one thing every day that scares you.”
― Eleanor Roosevelt

Fear Post-4

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune

Fear Not Post-3

Have you seen the news?!? It looks really bad out there! Many of my friends have had to stop watching the news simply because it gets them too depressed. Someone is trying to instill fear in us and I am, not sure who it is Republicans…Democrats… the Russians….The Chinese….. The Devil.

Here’s the thing. Fear is not more powerful than love. It is not more powerful than faith. And it is not more powerful than hope. These three things can conquer all the fear that the mysterious whoever musters. I am not giving you a Scripture today. Instead I leave you with a song to meditate on. It’s an oldy but a goody.

Fear Not Post-2

In this season of the world’s groaning, I think it is absolutely essential to remind ourselves often about the mindset God desires to keep in the midst of all of it.

“Do not be afraid, for I am with you and will bless you. I will multiply your descendants, …”- God, Genesis 26:24

Fear Not Post-1

My sister and I just got back from the grocery store. We have moved to shopping once every two weeks. We wear masks and sanitize everything before and after we touch it.

One of the things we have noticed is that the anxiety level of people (including us) has heightened dramatically during this new season of the world.

Into this new season I want to inject a sense of hope. So the fear not posts will be a series of sayings from the Bible and other sources directed to lift us out of fear and into hope.

Do not be afraid, for I will protect you, and your reward will be great.” -God Ge. 15:1
