Fear Not

Dia 20 de 31

I'm Afraid That My Life Is Pointless When you were a kid, did you ever build sand castles? I did, and it was fun to watch my kids build them too. They invested many hours in setting up plastic soldiers and stick artillery for their imaginary wars. But the castles and forts didn't last long. Other kids running around on the beach kicked the towers over. Waves, sun, and wind eroded them into shapeless lumps of sand. Do you ever feel that futility with the things you have tried to build in your life? Have you experienced the bitterness of business failure? Have you tried multiple careers and never quite found the groove? Are there a lot of broken relationships in your past? Is it a struggle to find things in your life that you are proud of? Has this ever been your voice? "I said, 'I have labored to no purpose; I have spent my strength in vain and for nothing'" (Isaiah 49:4). What may be missing is your reference point. When your measuring stick is yourself, your wealth, your ego, your prestige, or your comfort and pleasure, you may indeed feel as though your strength was spent in vain. When God is at your core, when he is your central reference point, everything changes.

Fear Not

What are you afraid of? God has spoken over and over again to fearful people. His angels repeatedly say, "Don’t be afraid." This reading plan contains pairs of devotions. The first devotion in a pair voices a fear that plagues many of us. The second devotion contains God's words of reassurance and comfort.
