Words to Live By

Matthew 10:26-31 (King James Version)

²⁶Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. ²⁷What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. ²⁸And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. ²⁹Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. ³⁰But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. ³¹Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

WORDS TO LIVE BY

I have no fear of Godless people--of their secret strategies or hidden snares. There is nothing hidden that will not be revealed to me through my Father. He teaches me the ways of the enemy so that I am not caught unaware. He reveals deep truths to me that I could never discover on my own, and what He reveals to me in my private time with Him I share with my brothers and sisters in Christ. Those things that He whispers in my ear I shout from the rooftops.

I keep things in proper perspective. My enemies may be able to kill my body, but they have no power over my spirit. However, my Father has the power to destroy both spirit and body in the fires of hell. Therefore, my Father deserves the greatest respect, and I have a holy fear of Him.

We see a sparrow as not being worth much, but not one sparrow can fall to the ground without our Father taking notice and responding with compassion. He even takes note of every hair that falls out of my head. Through this I know that I am more valuable than even a whole flock of sparrows and if anything, or anyone, would try to harm me, my Father will take notice and respond in my defense. So why in the world would I fear Godless people when my Father has me in his sights 24/7??!!

Life's Little Nuggets

There is a difference between dying daily with Christ and laying down and playing dead out of fear of the enemy! <unknown>
