Do not fear

 


 “Anything dark is devil for the fearful!” So goes a Tamil proverb.

No good will happen out of fear.

"Anything dark is devil for the fearful," reflects a common sentiment found in many cultures where darkness is often associated with fear and the unknown. This saying suggests that when people are consumed by fear, they tend to perceive even benign or neutral things as negative or dangerous. This can lead to irrational thoughts and reactions.

"No good will happen out of fear," conveys the idea that making decisions or taking actions based solely on fear is unlikely to result in positive outcomes. Fear can cloud judgment, hinder rational thinking, and prevent individuals from pursuing opportunities or facing challenges with a clear mind. It can lead to missed opportunities and unnecessary stress.

In general, it's advisable to make decisions and approach situations with a balanced and rational mindset, rather than allowing fear to control one's thoughts and actions. While fear is a natural and sometimes protective emotion, allowing it to dictate our choices can hinder personal growth and well-being.

I have not counted it, but I have heard that there are 366 “Fear Not’s” or similar statements in the Bible—one for each day of the year! In all situations of life, we must remind ourselves of what God told Joshua: “Be strong and of good courage; do not fear, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you” (Josh 1:9).

Worry Box

Image
  Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and He shall sustain thee. A manager of a company often come across big problems.   This gave him lot of worry.   To stop worrying about his problem, he did something.   He made a worry box.   He used to write down his problem that gave him worry and put it inside the worry box.   After putting inside the worry box he will force himself to stop worry about that problem.   After a week when he opened the worry box most of his problems were already solved.   Dear children of God we do have a worry box.   Put everything inside that worry box and you can stay calm and cool to watch those problems getting solved.   Yes dears, Jesus is our Worry Box.

Life changing power

Image
  A group of well-educated social service activist went to a tribal village. They have to walk through forests for a long distance to arrive at the village. To their surprise they saw a small boy reading a book. They went near him and asked what he was reading. Again to their surprise the boy replied that he was reading the Bible. One among them replied to the boy that reading the Bible personally is not relevant to their lives today because it was written two thousand years ago and today's life has changed so much. The boy replied to them, true sir the world has changed so much but if my villagers were not taught to read by few people who came here years ago and if our people had not read the Bible, by now they would have surrounded you and killed all of you and preparing to cook and eat you all. This book I am reading today saved your lives and changed our lives too.  The power of Jesus' love and the power of the Word of God are so GREAT.
