“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Wednesday;  November 28, 2007

 

          With the security found in the world in which we live, we don’t often talk about the fear.  Most of us feel safe in the communities in which we live.  Few of us have to face being afraid at home or on the road.  Yet, even though we do feel safe most of the time, when we do feel fear, it can be a major blow.  Fear doesn’t happen often; but, when it does, we feel it deep down in our bones – and even into our souls!

          Thousands of years ago, when things were not as safe as they are today, God showed His people that they didn’t have to be afraid.  As the great Protector and Shepherd, He promised safety and security.  In fact, as the Hebrew people were about to enter an occupied land they were told, “Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the Lord your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you." (Deuteronomy 31:6) 

          Are we facing a debilitating fear in our lives?  Let’s take the word of the Awesome and All-Powerful God and trust in Him.

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
