Fear

My favorite quote of late......

Anonymous~ Do not fear little flock, it is your Father's desire to give you his Kingdom.

If Fear were not holding you back, what would you do?

I was shocked to hear what my answer was. My heart answered this question even before my brain could answer.

For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. (Isaiah 41:13)

Moses answered the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again." (Exodus 14:13)

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. (Deuteronomy 31:6)

For God gave us not a spirit of fearfulness; but of power and love and discipline. (2 Timothy 1:7)

The Lord is my light and my salvation--whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life--of whom shall I be afraid? (Psalm 27:1)

Do not Fear little flock, it is your Father's desire to give you his Kingdom.

What would you do???

That's a translation of Luke 12:32. There's a nice setting of it that we sing in the Lutheran church, often with children. Here's a sample:
