and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.”
– Psalm 46:2
My heart wants me to fear.
Facts want me to fear.
My knowledge wants me to fear.
My emotions want me to fear.
Yet, I will not fear because my confidence is not in what the media speaks. I will not fear because my heart was not created by the Almighty God to live and rest in fear. I will not fear because facts have nothing on miracles and truth. I will not fear because my knowledge is so small and finite while the Great God of the universe knows it all. I will not fear because my emotions are wrong and structured on my weak human nature. I will not fear because YOU are with me. I will not fear because THIS IS NOT THE END. I will not fear because I BELIEVE that you are in control. Most of all, I will not fear because GOD LOVES ME.
A forgiven sinner has nothing to fear, for their eternity is set and their life is paid for - valued and redeemed.
The LORD is the stronghold of my life-- of whom shall I be afraid?”
–Psalm 27:1
