Do Not Be Afraid

Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid, go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me." Matthew 28:10

Jesus had told his disciples what was to happen, it is not as if He had surprised them and yet there were afraid.

We are told many things by our Lord yet when they happen we are afraid. He comforts us and tells us, "Don't be afraid!".

Yet we do fear. We fear because when the thing happens it is new and we are unsure. Unsure that we heard right in the first place, unsure that we are hearing right on the way and unsure that God really is for us. Why would God be so interested in me?

Yet I have discovered that the scripture does not lie. He really does go before me, He really does love me, He really is guiding me. His plan for me really is greater than I could hope or dream and I will see it if I stay connected and walk with Him.

I am amazed, continually how good God is. He really is so good. I have overcome my feelings to know it. If I walk around in self-pity I will not know His closeness as I have chosen self-pity instead.

If I walk in arrogant self-assurance I will not know Him because I have chosen self. I could go on, but won't.

Today I am returning home after being at a conference for work. Yesterday I had a revelation of something new but for it to happen the old had to die, and it did, I did not cling to it. I am excited at the 'all' God has for me, for it it truly good. Amen!
