Don't Be Scared

     I hear it all the time.  People are scared.  We worry that America is in a moral decline.  We worry that our government has so much power and such a humanistic agenda that God will be booted out altogether.  Some worry that the rich people will be in charge and forget the little man.  I read the scared and desperate postings of facebook friends who fear the end is near and the world will win. I hear the vitriolic speech on the news channels and radio shows.   

     Do you trust in God and believe what He said is true?  If so, we surely know that God has not given us the spirit of fear.  Instead, He's given His children power, love and a sound mind.  The word of God is a slow moving yet relentless force that will eventually topple every power and authority that stands against it, no matter how mighty they appear at the time. 

     The word of God will continue to increase and spread no matter how much the world tries to stop it.  God has it under control and He will be the final judge that rights every wrong.  Paradoxically, if we fear God, we have no reason to fear what will happen to us on this earth.
