6/19            Isaiah 43:1

1 But now, O Jacob, listen to the LORD who created you. O Israel, the one who formed you says, “Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. 

FEARLESS

You have the Lord’s personal promise of your safety.  No matter what happens here the Father will never let you go.  You belong to Him.  He is Lord and Master of all things and you are part of His family.  Be fearless in your everyday life.  Jesus is Lord. 

6/18            Isaiah 41:17

17 “When the poor and needy search for water and there is none, and their tongues are parched from thirst, then I, the LORD, will answer them. I, the God of Israel, will never abandon them.

TRUST

Trust in the Lord.  He is on your side.  He cares for you.  No matter your struggle the Lord is with you. 

6/17            Isaiah 41:14

14 Though you are a lowly worm, O Jacob, don’t be afraid, people of Israel, for I will help you. I am the LORD, your Redeemer. I am the Holy One of Israel.’

COST

JESUS will help us but the cost for Him was His life.  What does it cost you to follow Jesus.  He will help you and no one can take you away from Him.  Remember “Every day is a good day.”

6/16            Isaiah 41:13

13 For I hold you by your right hand— I, the LORD your God. And I say to you, ‘Don’t be afraid. I am here to help you. 

HERE

The Lord is here, where we are.  He is always with us.  He is a God who loves His people and is seeking our best good.  The Lord our God loves us and will guide us through the darkness into the light. 

6/15            Isaiah 41:10

10 Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. 

STAND

When all seems lost and life is raging stand firm in the Lord.  Trust in Him and He will do it.  When you cannot see the way ahead trust in the Lord and He will see you through.  Stand firm and trust in the Lord. 

6/14            Psalm 56:3-4

3 But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you. 

4 I praise God for what he has promised. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me? 

TRUST

I often cannot see how something will work out but if the Lord has promised I believe it and act upon it.  The Lord is good and He is intimately involved in our life if we will let Him.  Do not ignore the Lord.  Trust in Him for He is trustworthy. 

6/13            Psalm 27:1

1 The LORD is my light and my salvation— so why should I be afraid? The LORD is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble?

FEAR

Fear is devastating.  It will destroy your health and defeat your plans.  Do not fear, do not tremble for the Lord is more than able to protect you.  Stand fast.  Be true.  Jesus loves you. 

6/12            1 Chronicles 28:20

20 Then David continued, “Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Don’t be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. He will see to it that all the work related to the Temple of the LORD is finished correctly. 

CONFIDENT

You can be confident that the Lord has His eye on you.  He will not forget you or forsake you.  He will complete that good work in you.  Our Father neither slumbers or sleeps.  He is faithful and true. 

6/11            Joshua 1:9

9 This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” 

BE

The call is to BE.  Be strong for the Lord provides your strength.  Be courageous for the Lord has your back.  Nothing can separate you from the Lord.

06/10          1 Peter 4:15-19 

If you suffer, however, it must not be for murder, stealing, making trouble, or prying into other people’s affairs. 16 But it is no shame to suffer for being a Christian. Praise God for the privilege of being called by his name! 17 For the time has come for judgment, and it must begin with God’s household. And if judgment begins with us, what terrible fate awaits those who have never obeyed God’s Good News?  18 And also, “If the righteous are barely saved, what will happen to godless sinners?” 19 So if you are suffering in a manner that pleases God, keep on doing what is right, and trust your lives to the God who created you, for he will never fail you.

TRUST

Life is a valuable trust that the Lord gives us.  He expects us to know that with His trust comes a commitment by Him to be faithful to us.  We can trust the Lord with our life.  He is Lord and we belong to Him.
