Fear

"Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor fear the dangers of the day, nor dread the plague that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday.  Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you.  But you will see it with your eyes; you will see how the wicked are punished."  Psalm 91: 5-8

Many here in TZ are living in fear.  Fear of death, fear of robberies, fear of hunger, fear of illness, fear of loss. . .  they are looking to neighbors and friends and the government for the answers.  Americans are living in fear of financial ruin, loss of power or jobs, fear of the leadership in Washington, fear that their children will fall into sin, fear of cancer, fear of many things. . . God tells us not to fear over 300 times in the Bible.  Why do we still fear? It is because we do not trust God really.  We say it.  We teach it.  We read it. But we don't believe it. 

Today Trust GOD.  Trust Him to watch over you and your family.  We can live in fear or we can choose to trust God fully.  Trust the One who can really do something for you and Who can be trusted.
