Love casts out fear

I don’t think I can really think of a time in my life, where there wasn’t some kind of crisis in the world. Maybe it’s how this world functions. Maybe it’s a way to keep people in fear. This world is very strange indeed. Fear does a lot of strange things in our minds, we become irrational, we become mistrustful. If we are not careful, fear can dominate our lives.

When I am afraid,

I will put my trust in You.

In God, whose word I praise,

In God I have put my trust;

I shall not be afraid.

What can mere man do to me?

Psalm 56: 3-4

There is a great advantage being a Christian. One of the great benefits is that we don’t have to live in fear. What can this world do to us? We are going to a place after this world, and there is nothing here for us to keep us. There is a peace that passes all understanding. When the world has seemed to lose every sense of rationality, we can trust in our God. Love casts out fear, we don’t have to be dominated by the spirit of our age. If God is for us, indeed who can be against us? Stay the course my friends, don’t let the world distract us.
