******************************
Fear seems to be the constant in life, and especially for the last couple years. There are real things to fear and other things over which fear is exaggerated for the sake of money and power.
Whatever your fear, God is love, and perfect love casts out fear. Love is peace. We too often allow fear to penetrate us and infect us. Our defense is God and His promises. Either we learn to push fear away as Jesus teaches us in Matthew 6 – “Let the day’s own trouble be sufficient for the day” or we trust God and His strength to get us through whatever happens.
Give thanks. God provides and deserves our thanks.
