I WILL NOT FEAR
WEEKLY DEVOTIONALS
Thursday, February 3, 2022
| “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and staff, they comfort me.” Psalm 23:4 |
Every hour of every day we pray the pandemic will disappear. We’re tired of living in a carbonated bottle that’s about to explode. People are angry, disgruntled, pumping their fists out of car windows, yelling obscenities, pointing accusing fingers, arguing over any and everything that matters to them.
No one is compromising.
Most mornings we wake agitated. The last thing we heard before going to sleep was the nightly news.
We have no control over the world.
However, WE CAN CONTROL OUR OWN LIVES.
It’s your life. Take it back! Consider each day a new beginning. The world may be blazing all around you, but you can choose to engage in a deep reading of God’s Word. God is with you, using his rod and staff to direct and comfort you. There may be days when you don’t feel God’s presence, but it doesn’t mean he’s not with you. HE IS. He’s holding you. Believe it!
PRAYER: Dear God, please give me a sense of peace. Refill my mind with the holy scriptures.
IMAGINE God lending you a hand as he lifts you from your knees and places you in his loving arms.
READ Isaiah 41:10
LISTEN

You’ll Get Through This by Max Lucado
God is amazing! I read an article by Max Lucado the last week of August and had no earthly idea how it would help me through what hit me barely two weeks later. If you’ve experienced losing someone, please go to this website and listen to how eloquent and practical Max Lucado lays out how we should handle death. What an encourager Max Lucado is and has been over the years. Thanks, Max!
I’m still hurting, but only God can ease my pain. At the end of the day, God knows what he is doing. He has everything under control. Amazing how he works: taking life, giving life, sustaining life. To God be the glory! Amen!
The article was orginally published in the Summer 2014 Issue of Just Between Us Magazine. It can be found here: http://www.issuu.com/shelly50/docs/jbusummer14 and is entitled “You’ll Get Through This.”
God bless!
