DO NOT BE AFRAID

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 NIV) If there ever has been a needed message to a nation today - it is this message - DO NOT BE AFRAID. America is reeling from the Colorado tragedy where a young man went on a killing spree this last week. People are asking why and wondering where is God in all this. People are fearful and wondering how safe the world really is. The fact is: there are no guarantees on this sinful earth. We have not arrived in heaven yet but we do live in a fallen world with fallen people. Our God puts His arms around us today and says, "DO NOT BE AFRAID." He tells us that in the midst of tragedy and mahem - that He will be with us and strengthen us. I don't have all the answers but I do know that God loves each of us - including those who in that theater the other night. Keep looking to your God and keep your eyes on Him. He is your source and strength - DO NOT BE AFRAID.
