You’re
going to find yourself in trouble, but don’t worry. It is part of the work. The
Father has planned for this, and He has placed you in these situations. He is
going to speak to you; through you to the people you face. And, He will
accomplish what He has planned to do. It’s all for Him. Don’t be afraid.
(Matthew 10:18-20)
So many times, Scripture urges, “Don’t be
afraid.” When the angels appeared, they usually began, “Fear not!” As the
prophets foretold the events to come, even where they were difficult, they
counseled, “Don’t be afraid…” Here, Jesus says explicitly, “Don’t be afraid,”
and He explained why. God is in control. He knew that all of this would happen.
He is going to walk through it with you, and He is going to win.
What does this mean to you? In a word, it
means, “freedom.” You are free to simply do what the Lord God gives you to do
each day. Every morning, you can get up, head out, and explain to your people
that you are all headed out on a great adventure. And, you are headed together
for success!
Never, not ever, should you fear. Don’t let
your people fear. Instead, love them well encourage them to trust Jesus.
