The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
Psalms 118:6
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What an encouraging thought. No matter how rough things get in your life remember God is with you. You know there are days that I have felt completely drained and defeated, but then I am reminded in romans where Paul writes if God is for us than who shall we fear( Romans 8:31 ). Paul was reminding the church in Rome that despite what they were going through God was with them all the way. In fact in verse 37 Paul writes we are more than conquerors( Romans 8:37 ).
Remember everyday to walk in victory. When Jesus died on the cross He won the victory for us. Fear is a big reason why people won't share the gospel. They are afraid they will offend someone, they are afraid someone won't like them. Friends I encourage do not be afraid, instead be courageous and strong( Joshua 1:9 ). If someone choose to not like you or be your friend because you shared the gospel don't take it personal( John 15:19 ). So I encourage you once again be bold and share the gospel. Fight the good fight of faith( 1 Timothy 6:12 ).
For anyone reading this today who has not accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and personal savior I invite you to do so. Ask Him into your heart and admit your a sinner in need of His forgiveness. Be real with Him and cast all your cares,worries, and doubts at His feet, the feet of mercy for He cares for you( 1 Peter 5:7 ). Repent of your old ways and find your identity in Jesus Christ( 2 Corinthians 5:17 ). Don't let your past or not being perfect get in the way( Psalm 103:12, Romans 3:23 ). Instead throw yourself upon His mercy( Luke 18:13 ). Remember He is waiting with arms wide open( John 3:16 ). In those arms you will find love( John 15:13 ), mercy( Romans 5:6-8 ), forgiveness( 1 John 1:9 ), and a grace that is sufficient( 2 Corinthians 12:9 ). Will you choose Him? Will you let Him set you free from the bonds of sin( John 8:36 )? I encourage you to do so. For He is the only way to heaven( John 14:6 ). This is the greatest choice you will ever make. It is a matter of life and death, life and death eternal( John 3:18 ). Don't wait, make the choice today( Matthew 24:36 )!
God bless,
