"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41: 10
Christ is our faithful companion and our faithful strength. He brings peace. Do not be afraid for there is nothing to fear. You have to be who God has called you to be. He guides and protects. There are some things we should be afraid of, but He is not one of them. In this scripture, Isaiah was talking about the Israelites. Do not do things that are not in the name of God. You have to remember your faith. God tells you what to do and how to do it, you just have to listen. Look to God to help you with your fear, put Him first. Do not be afraid, do not be fearful, do not be uncertain. Fear is a Satan. Do not be distracted or off balance - or we tend to fall away from God. When you are fearful, you move away from God. God is in control. He tells us to not be afraid. When you are most afraid, He carries you spiritually, emotionally, and physically. God's got us.
WE MUST BE FEARLESS
I just recently finished "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak. I had no idea what this novel was going to be about going into it; all I knew was that our 10th grade English class study it. Right off the bat I noticed that our narrator was not your average Joe. The narrator is death. When I realized this I said to myself, "Oh this is going to be good." The novel is all about the Holocaust and it is shown from a German point of view. Leisel Meminger's mother gives her away to a foster German family. On the trip to this new family, Leisel's brother dies. So right from the start death is there. I'm not going to give you a synopsis of it, because I think you should read it for yourself. Just know that a German family hides a Jew in their basement for a while, and death is around every corner. That last line of the novel really got me though..."I am haunted by humans."
