Fear not

If God is for us, who can possibly be against us? That is, who can thwart God?

When the Israelites were taken into Babylonian captivity for 70 years, the words of the prophet Isaiah tell us the Lord God of Israel was right there in their midst. He told them to fear not; he was with them to help and strengthen them and would uphold them with his righteous right hand.

In difficult times of trial and trouble, Jesus—and he alone—is the only healing balm we need. He directs the course of great rivers, and by his power, the very atoms in the nails that pierced his flesh while on the cross were held together with his own mighty strength, yes!  If he created the world, and all of the cattle on a thousand hills belong to him, what is your life’s situation that he cannot make good?

Even on your worst day, the calming peace of Jesus can satisfy like no other. He leads us beside the still waters and restores our souls. His peace is like a river, and it flows as a fountain of blessings to his faithful followers, who put their trust fully in Him.
