Problems aren't problems when they have a solution. Catastrophes aren't catastrophic when no losses occur. Waves don't seem that high when you don't rock back and forth. We rest in a fortress on a rock that is immovable. He has us. No fear here, thank you.

May the Holy Spirit embrace you today. This is a series of devotions and meditations on scripture. We reject fear in any and all forms. Fear is a spiritual force, the currency of darkness and ignorance. It's what we inherited when Adam gave up his faith and Satan uses it to keep people down. His only weapon is words. If he can get you believing or looking at words of fear, he's got you. Instead, we champion faith as an allegiance to God, as a belief and trust and loyalty to the Lord God Almighty. We accept the evidence of His word as unvarnished truth, as is, just as it's written. We get close to His perfect love through the word, and perfect love casts out fear. 1 John 4.18 All scripture is taken from the World English Bible, which is in the public domain. Visit eBible.org Psalm 46, 1-3 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, we won't be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas, though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling. When you abide in the Lord, trouble doesn't trouble you. Trouble happens, emotional, financial, and physical, but if the Lord is your strength and your refuge, it doesn't happen to you as much as it happens around you. It's hard to explain. It's like nothing else. This isn't denial. This isn't going to your happy place to avoid life. This isn't traumatic disassociation. This isn't not understanding how serious it is. This isn't singing over the rainbow while dancing on your lawn as bombs drop around you. This is supernatural. Imagine not knowing what was going to happen as your life crumbled, but instead of crumbling with it, there was a confidence in you, an OK. This isn't a guarantee that things are going to be fine from a worldly point of view. People die, bank accounts empty, things break, but you know that someone has you, that it's going to be fine, that in your inside, in your spirit, things are fine, sunny day fine. There is confidence. You don't know, but someone knows, and that someone can tell you what steps to take and can catch you if there's going to be a fall because you listen to them. The Lord knows the end from the beginning. Isaiah 46.10. Before the foundation of the world, he decided what he was going to do and how it was going to end. 1 Peter 1.19-20. He gave us free will. He isn't forcing us to do anything. Whatever we choose, he lets us do. But he's not going to start telling us the right way, his way, his wants, what he has coming. He doesn't want us to miss out. He doesn't want us to be standing outside the fence when the move happens because he is God and he knows what's coming. He knows what is going to happen. He knows what ground is shifting, moving, and collapsing, and he has provision for whomever calls upon him and walks in his ways. What are we told happens once we believe in God, accept Jesus as Savior, and make him Lord of our lives. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new. 1 Corinthians 5.17. And raised us up with him and made us to sit with him in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2.6. For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3.26. And if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. If indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him. Romans 8.17. We are not normal. We are not fallen humans. We are new. We have the DNA of the kingdom within us. We are renewed and in Jesus and he is in us. And guess what? We know the end from the beginning, too. It's true. Jesus calls us little gods in John 10.34. He's quoting Psalm 82.6 that says, I said, you are gods. All of you are sons of the Most High. We're part of a family. This doesn't mean we in ourselves are gods. Psalm 82.7 says, Nevertheless, you shall die like men and fall like one of the rulers. Our flesh will cease, even though our spirits will not die. In Jesus, we are as we will be. In ourselves, we have no power. John 15.5 tells us clearly from Jesus' own lips that without him, we can do nothing. But that is exactly how we know the end from the beginning. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn't know what his Lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you. John 15.15, Jesus doesn't keep secrets. From the moment we got saved, the book of Revelation started speaking differently to us. The end was declared to your spirit. Jesus immediately started telling you that he wins. Which means that we win, by grace, through faith, we are all things in Jesus. Faith is a decision. You decide to pick faith up, not just yours, but his. You pick it up and you hold on to it. The black and white and red words of the Bible are true, period. The Lord doesn't lie, period. The Lord is with you, period. The Lord is victorious, period. We can live a life assuming that everything in that book is, was, and will come to pass, period. Every time a problem shows up and we give it to the Lord, we know the ending. We win. Does that mean it will end how we want? No. Does it mean that we can declare exactly how we want things to go and have them go that way? No. It means we give it to the Lord and do what he says to do, which is maybe doing something and maybe doing nothing. His choice, because he knows all the details. We know the ending. At the end, it won't be a problem anymore. We see the mountaintops. God sees all the valleys as well. Look around the world today and you will see a flood of things happening. Wars, new wars ramping up and rumors of them abounding. Natural disasters, shootings, abuses, violence, and fear. Oh my, the fear. All kinds are being offered up. Fears of sickness, of viruses, of the vaccines for the viruses, of new viruses. Theft, rape, murder, the death of children, bugs in the garden, the economy, toilet paper shortages, fuel prices, grocery prices, and even whether your favorite star will be in your favorite new movie, in your favorite film franchise. It is truly ridiculously prevalent. It is a mess. A confusing, cross-messaged mess. We get one set of things from the world's sources. We get another set from the church. Whose voice within which camp do you listen to? Whose voice within which camp that contradicts all the other voices in that camp is speaking the truth? Just one. The Spirit of Truth. John 14, 17. It doesn't matter what's said, and from whom, or to whom, the Holy Spirit within you will tell you what to listen to and what not to listen to. The Spirit sees more than we can, says more than we often choose to listen to, and has the full, complete, and total knowledge of Jesus to get into us. And it will never contradict the Word. The Word is the gold standard. It is the heart of God. It is the will of God. It is the Word of God. It is the all and everything that we need. It can be entertainment. It is always there to teach, inspire, create, and renew. It is the past, and the present, and the future. It is always up to date and ready to bring comfort, peace, and wisdom. It is there to show us our solutions and to help us praise through the problems to the end that the Lord declares when we bring our life to Him. Read it. Listen to it as you read it. Take it in. Love God. Choose to obey. Choose to believe and praise Him because He deserves it. Period. No other reason. Just tell God that He's a good God. That His steadfast love and mercy endures forever. That He's a good Father. He sustains us. Repeat it or something like it all day long. Every time you think of it, say it to yourself out loud, under your breath, but say it. Don't worry about what it exactly means in every little nuance or what interpretation you agree with or what that thing is that you don't quite understand. Just let the Word of God permeate you. Fill you to overflowing. Believe and say it. Walk in faith by choice. Be fully persuaded not about what you see but what the Lord says about what you choose to believe. Guess what? God does not lie. The Lord is with you. And the Lord knows exactly what you need to do and no one catches like Jesus catches. No matter what happens on a physical world level, you are completely and totally A-OK. He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear. He burns the chariot in the fire. Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth. Yahweh of armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Psalm 46, 9-11 Our daily affirmation of God's love is Jeremiah 31, 33-37. You love your kids. You love your friends. They misstep and you forgive them. Sometimes you don't want to but you do. The Lord always has as well. He had to help us cover up our sins for a long time. Then Jesus died and he was able to forget our sin. Now we could be worthy to be in his presence again. Not by anything we could do but by the sacrifice of Jesus. By the new covenant. From the least of us to the greatest of us we can know him, stand with him, and fellowship with him in Jesus because of what Jesus did. Now think about that. What it means is that for those of us who believe Jesus is the only son of God, who took sin on himself, died for us, and was raised again to life for us, those people are part of the new covenant. Every other human on the planet exists under the old covenant. I've read that thing. You should too. Genesis to Deuteronomy. Joshua to Malachi. There's a lot there. And it proves beyond a shadow of a doubt we can't do it. Sin is going to rise up and get us again and again. Only Jesus can save us. Only Jesus' sacrifice can deliver us. When we accept that and believe and by his grace through faith take it in, whoosh, sin gone. Happy faces. And we can climb into the lap of the Lord God himself and go to sleep. Isn't that beautiful? As we close, remember that you have earth. You are precious and valuable. Declare this. Today, God loves that I, now you, fill in the blank. Was it a meal you made? A smile you gave? Did you get out of bed? Read? Put on socks? There's no wrong answers here. There is no end to God's love and no end to the things about you that he loves each and every day. Pick one. And remember, the Lord loves you just because you're you. First John 4, 9 to 10 tells us, by this God's love was revealed in us. That God has sent his only born son into the world that we might live through him. And this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. His perfect love turned away God's wrath because of sin. And it casts out our fear too. See verses 18 and 19. We love because he first loved us. He just loves us. Can't get enough of us. And that is wonderful. See you next time.
