God Promises us that we will be Secure

My thoughts about the verses:

There are moments in all of our lives that we have fear.  We have fear that we will fail at work.  We have feared that we will let our family members down.  We have feared that we will let our friends down.  We have feared that we will lose all that we have.  We have fear of death.

Yet, we need to realize is that this is not God’s way.  God doesn’t want us to be afraid of our future.  We have nothing really to fear if we put our trust in God.  We are so worried about the future that we miss the gifts that are given to us.  We miss the love of our Savior.  We miss the strength of our Savior.

God is not to be feared.  We should love a worship God.  God is there with us through all of our life’s struggles.  God doesn’t turn away from us when we are weak or afraid.  God lifts us up and helps us get through the entire day to day grind.  It is a gift that we have surety in because God is our blessed Savior.

We need to look back over our lives and see those moments that we thought we would never get through.  We need to thank God because we are where we are now.  See when we were going through those hard times we had our answer with us.  Yet, we were so busy worrying that we missed the presence of our Savior.  Now think about all the things that are coming and know that God will be there with you.

I read a blog today from a mom whose child was facing a reoccurrence of Cancer.  You could feel the fear that she had.  You could also feel the assurance she had in a higher power.  A power she had experience when her son had beat cancer once.  She was expressing her weakness and her strength.  She knew that it would be a struggle yet; every day would be a blessing. 

We all need to come to understand the blessing of each day.  The knowledge that God has got us to where we are and God will not leave us when we need the tender presence in our life.  Keep that in mind the next time you fear the future.  Know that God will be there helping you if only you will allow it.  Amazing how different our lives are when we allow our fear to take a back seat to the security we have in God.

Prayer:

We praise you God.  We offer thanksgiving up to you for all that you have and will do in our lives.  Help us accept your security in our life.  Help us let go of our fear.  Help us be secure in your loving touch and presence.  In the name of the Savior we pray.  Amen

Questions:

Are you feeling afraid today?  Have you turned it over to God?  What do you have to fear when God is on your side?
