We Live
In The Light Of Christ
And Need
Fear
Nothing
Psalm 27:1
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
John 8:12
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.’
Words of Grace For Today
There is the Ukraine, following Georgia and Crimea; just one place on earth where military force is used to invade neighbouring countries to control them.
These kinds of invasions rightfully create fear in us all.
Africa’s conflicts never end.
These kinds of invasions rightfully create fear in us all.
The Middle East is one conflict and war and invasion after another.
These kinds of invasions rightfully create fear in us all.
Police apply force unjustly against so many minorities, and also against now men falsely accused by vengeful or deranged women. For some women are blood thirsty as some are to destroy any man possible in order to avenge violence against women, which even though dramatic and terrible, today’s violence against women is still only a fraction of that conducted against men, some of it also by women against men, with the same deadly results. It’s all the same thing: violence aimed at innocent people, and the first victim is truth, and those impacted the worst are the children.
These kinds of invasions rightfully create fear in us all.
More subtle kinds of invasions happen all the time as truth is sacrificed in our own courts, and many, supposedly just, courts around the world.
These kinds of invasions rightfully create fear in us all.
There are so many more real reasons to be fearful of all the evil that is perpetrated indiscriminately and directed exactly against us.
What are we to do?
We have no other choice or option: we get to trust God’s promises: that Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life and
that the Lord is our light and our salvation, and therefore we have no reason to fear anything, nothing at all.
Nothing at all.
So we, no matter the reasons that are so many to fear, … we have no reason to fear … for no matter what evil happens or is done to us or other people,
God is with us, the Light of the World is with us, there is no darkness for us …
nor is there reason to fear anything, anything at all.
We live in the Light.
Of whom shall we be afraid?
