If I truly believe that Christ died, was buried and rose again, breathing into me life with the guarantee of the Holy Spirit, proving that all surpassing power belongs to God, what am I afraid of? In light of this truth - these promises - what could possibly shake me?
The Maker of heaven and earth, will:
- perfect everything that concerns you (Psalm 138:8)
- work all things together for your good (Rom 8:28)
- contend with those who contend with you (Is 49:25)
- fight this battle for you (2 Chron 20:15)
- equip you with divine power (2 Corin 10:4)
- delight to show you mercy (Micah 7:18)
- meet all your needs according to the glorious riches in Jesus Christ (Philip 4:19)
- give you grace that is perfectly sufficient (2 Corin 12:9)
- be your power in weakness (2 Corin 12:9)
- do immeasurably more than all you could ask or imagine, according to the power that is at work within you (Eph 3:20)
- He who began a good work in you and will bring it to completion (Phil 1:6)
Christ is our intercessor who will live forever. The only priest who will not die. He has conquered death. What makes me think I should fear anything/anyone but God? "I believe, Lord, help my unbelief," comes to mind. Clearly, I am in need of a deeper understanding of peace in Christ. A deeper trust of God. Release the white knuckle grip I have on my life and circumstances and just laugh at the days to come because I have this treasure. The Maker of the universe is protecting me. Of what shall I be afraid?
