Are you ready for some encouragement? Perhaps overdue for some? Do you know who you are in the Lord? or who you can be, if you're not already? This verse was written approximately 700 years before Christ redeemed us. He continues to redeem us, even to this day.
"Fear not". The enemy still continues to torment us, be his defeat has already been revealed. This doesn't mean that life will be easy. We need to continue to love and encourage one another as we each may be faced with challenges, daily. May we also never, ever stop pursuing God, daily. "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." (Isaiah 41:10, NIV)
