Day 3

What are you worried about today. The economy? Your health? Your bills? Your children? Are you worried about the future? The fact is there are a lot of reasons to be afraid in today’s world. But God promises that, even in your darkest valleys, He is walking beside you..
There are 365 verses in the Bible that say, “Fear not.” God provided us with one “Fear not” message for every day of the year!..
Why does God have to repeat Himself so often when it comes to our worries and fears? It’s because our hurts and hang-ups can often cause us to think that God is out to get us, that all He wants to do is condemn us and punish us. But that simply isn’t true. Jesus is the proof of that..
Why would He die for us when we were still sinners? But God clearly shows and proves His own love for us, by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.. (Romans 5:8)
When you understand God’s grace and mercy, then you have no need to fear the future. God isn’t trying to get even with you. Jesus has taken the penalty for everything you’ve ever done wrong or will do wrong. He paid for it on the cross..
So, when a bad thing happens, you don’t have to think, “God’s getting even with me.” Instead, remember, “Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for You are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me” (Psalm 23:4)..
These are verses which you must pray over and over again as our human nature tends to slip back into worry. Keep reminding yourself of God’s promises till you find the peace of God in your heart..
They never fail!..
“I asked the Lord for help, and He answered me. He saved me from all that I feared. Those who go to Him for help are happy, and they are never disgraced.….” (Psalm ‭34‬:‭4‬-‭5‬)
