No Matter the View,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Far or Near,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

God Deals With Us ….<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 147:11<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

… the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romans 8:15<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, \u2018Abba! Father!\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Words of Grace For Today<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God, the Almighty, – if we recognize the power God can wield – rightfully strikes fear into our hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, so many people attempt to strike as much fear into other people\u2019s hearts … all so that they can force their will on others … always to detriment of the one striking fear and to the detriment to those who fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have more than enough reason to be fearful of these people, and of the future yet to unfold for<\/p>\n\n\n\n

so much in our recent past promises worse days ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God works to save us from such fear and worry,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

saving us<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and all creation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

so that we might<\/p>\n\n\n\n

live, blessed and capable of working within what is, not what is not that is so fearful, and with God\u2019s greatest blessing as our basic mode of being for ourselves and with others:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God is to be feared, but even more-so to be loved, for God loves us with a steadfast and unending love that is more powerful than all the fear of all time stacked up together against us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such is God\u2019s power<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to be used<\/p>\n\n\n\n

wondrously<\/p>\n\n\n\n

each day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
