Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

We seemed to have lost this, in the church. You don’t necessarily need to publicly, go on social media and tell the world, but you need close friends that you can trust and will hold you accountable. I’m not saying that social media is not a powerful tool to share, but you may want to have your closest friends, walk with you through it first. It takes a lot of courage, to bare your soul, to the whole world. Especially for those who don’t understand, but……How healing to those whose lives are forever changed, by your courageous obedience, to this verse, who may be also struggling with he same issue. Also, this verse is talking to believers in the church, and not to those who have never given their lives to Christ.
Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.
James 5:16 NASB

Nourish your soul, today, meditate and delight, on God’s Word. You will not be disappointed. May we be filled with his spirit, today, that we may shine a light, on the Living God, who walks with us daily.
When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your consolations delight my soul.
Psalms 94:19 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.94.19.NASB
Are you filled with the spirit? If not, then why? See below for a link to know how you can be filled with the spirit, if you are a believer. If you are not a believer, you need the other link, for becoming a believer.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

We are secure, when we put our Trust and Faith in Jesus.
Commit your way to the Lord , Trust also in Him, and He will do it.
Psalms 37:5 NASB
Are you satisfied at what you are pursuing to find fulfillment in your life?
Delight yourself in the Lord ; And He will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalms 37:4 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.37.4.NASB
The things of this world are temporal, but the things of the LORD are eternal. We find joy when we accept and pursue and shower ourselves in God’s promises.
- We are forgiven,
- We are called sons and daughters,
- We are loved perfectly,
- We have a perfect father,
- We are perfect through Jesus work on the cross and his resurrection,
- We have a helper who guides and directs us
- We have God’s word that always gives us wisdom to walk fearlessly in a lost and decaying world.
- We also have a home that is being prepared for us to spend all of eternity, in a place where there will be no sorrow.
Can I get an Amen?
Perfect Love Casts Out Fear
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.
1 John 4:18 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.4.18.NASB
There is a fear that is healthy for those who do not fear God. There is eternal consequences, for those whose hearts are hardened, by their own selfish desires.
But…..
For those who see clearly, that Jesus sacrificed all for those who believe in him, they are made whole, through his death and resurrection. We are not seen as lacking, but by his amazing love, we need have no fear. Our slate is wiped clean. Not by anything we have done. How wonderful is that to ponder every day, and bathe in his marvelous Grace. We are free to serve him and others, in joy and peace.
Thank You Jesus
