Are you facing a tough and scary Monday? Are there things that are just beyond your control that are making you feel afraid? Anxious? Knees knocking?
I want to encourage you today: God's got this.
Everything's going to be okay.
"Don't be afraid," is God's message over and over throughout scripture and throughout history. He whispers it in the wind, He speaks gently, He envelops us with love.
"I've got this," the Holy Spirit breathes.
"Trust Me."
It's easy to become fearful when we insist on certain outcomes, and try to force God's hand to do our own bidding. We think we know best: we demand it and then bite our nails in worry that God will fail us.
How much better to leave the outcomes to our good and gracious Father! Let Him do His perfect work - the One who sees the whole scope of creation and our place in His plan - He will not fail us, even when the answer is different from our own, small ideas.
Don't be afraid.
It's His word to you this morning.
Rest.
Trust.
Believe.
Let His peace fill your mind and heart.
He is never late, He is never unkind.
He will not fail you.
No matter what you're facing, He's got this.
Don't be afraid.
