March 16th, 2024: I Will Not Be Afraid

"The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?" - Hebrews 13:6

Many of us have allowed fears to control and dictate our ways of life. This has become more pronounced as we've witnessed many parts of our moral foundation being compromised and dismissed. We are afraid of what the future might hold and how we can protect and treasure what is precious and important to us.

What does it mean to have God as our helper? Nothing is new to Him, no matter how cunning people may think they are in undermining Him. They might say He does not exist or that He has become irrelevant, yet we continue to be amazed by how God keeps appearing in unexpected places. God is more than a few steps ahead; He is eternally ahead.

We know and have become aware that our freedom has been slowly stripped away. Canada has become one of those nations. Free speech and freedom of expression have been reserved for immoral ideals. Those who believe in the teachings of Judeo-Christian values find themselves in a defensive position. Yet, we don't have to be afraid because true freedom comes from the forgiveness of our sins, and the worldviews of this world can never offer that. Nothing can destroy us when we are forgiven.
