With all the uncertainty present in our world and culture, it is easy to get fearful or anxious. But we can’t let these dominate our life! We need to be sure to uproot them at their source. Our source of joy, peace, and comfort is the presence of the Lord in our lives! If He is with us and for us, what should we be scared of? We need to be sure we remember this at all times!
When we abide in the presence of the Lord and recognize He has a plan for His people, we find supernatural peace. 2 Timothy 1:7 puts it perfectly: “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control (ESV).” As believers, we have everything we need to not be afraid of whatever is occurring in the world!
We also need to be intentional about casting out fear and anxiety as an example to those around us. We are called to shine Christ’s light to those who are in the darkness around us. We can’t do this if we’re afraid, anxious, and scared of everything going on! We should represent the power and reality of God’s comforting presence to everyone we encounter!
The world, society, and even the church are at a new, never-before-seen point in history. We don’t know what will come next, or what to expect. While this may be the case, we can be confident in the fact the Lord is with us and has a plan for us! Strive to remain patient, and faithful in God’s plan for your life!
