Do Not Be Afraid

I’m sharing with you this morning a portion of last night’s reading. It is still comforting, still alive to me this morning:

Revelation 1:
17 When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. And He placed His right hand on me, saying, “Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last,
18 and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.
via Rev 1 NASB – The Revelation of Jesus Christ – The – Bible Gateway.

His right hand – the Hand of Authority, the Hand of Ruler-ship, the Hand of ALL Power and He said do not be afraid. I am only not afraid when I am surrendered, when I humble myself under His Almighty Hand. And there I am safe and comforted. Aren’t you?

There we KNOW HE IS THE LIVING ONE. He is the ONE who was DEAD but now is ALIVE forevermore. The ONE with power over death and hell.

JESUS IS!

Do YOU know Him? More importantly does HE know you?

Matthew 7:
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
via Matthew 7:22-24 KJV – Many will say to me in that day Lord – Bible Gateway.

The more evil we see acted out on the stage of life, politically, emotionally, financially, morally, and in the spiritual realm, the more we must walk in the law of the LORD.

Just Some Thoughts

I so wish I could think of something fun and light to write to you tonight to greet you in the morning. It’s been a serious week with weighty matters bearing on our souls. Even so we are a blessed people and this evening I am counting my many, many blessings. 

The house is quiet this evening, no TV and hubby is not three feet away click, click clicking his mouse, making lines and squares – he’s drawing.  He amazes me. Perhaps he is underestimated from time to time. He has much knowledge and wisdom stored in that gray matter beneath his tousled grey hair. Does that sound like I am rather fond of him? I am.

Perhaps I will make this short tonight so I can finish God’s Guest List by Debbie Macomber. If so it would mean two books read in the month of January.  Last week I finished Forest Man by J. Steve Biggs and absolutely loved it. God’s Guest List is working me, have tons of notes with changes I am asking the HOLY SPIRIT to work in me. Forest Man was pure entertainment. It’s okay to read for pure entertainment you know — I think I should do it more often. 

How about you – what are you reading?  Certainly Scripture. That is a given. No son or daughter of The KING should fail to read a portion of His love letter to us every day.  I told my Sunday School class that one verse meditated upon, prayed over and put into living was of far more value than reading two or three chapters and straightaway forget what you read.

Just some thoughts. 

When we gather at our screens in the morning, know you are loved and appreciated.
