There are a lot of people living in fear today. Some are battling health issues that may end in death. That can be incredibly scary, even for those who know where they’re going. Some are afraid of what will happen to the country if the elections don’t go their way. These are all legitimate concerns, recognizing that poor choices can create a poor future, especially for those we love and care about. Some fear losing their jobs or not being able to pay the next bill. Fear is a part of almost every life at certain points. Even the young fear getting cut from the team, failing a test, or breaking up with someone. Solomon promises that God will shield us, protect us, and bring success into our lives if we walk blamelessly. The beauty for us as followers of Christ is that we find freedom from fear in the blamelessness God covers us with through the sacrifice of His Son. We are told that His perfect love defeats fear in our lives. We understand that when the God of the universe, who created everything, controls everything, knows everything, and has all power, is on our side, we truly have nothing to be afraid of. What a way to live! Today, walk in the security and protection of your Savior. #BeTheEdge
“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear…” 1 John 4:18a NIV
