Fear Not!

I carefully curate my news sources attempting to discard the most biased. Yet, whether I’m reading about technology, business, or politics, the message is Fear This!

Contemplating this “feature” of news, God spoke. OK, not like George Burns in the eponymous move or in the young Bill Cosby’s Noah skits. But the message was clear—consider the most used command in the Bible—Fear Not!

God, angels, even Jesus himself command people, “FEAR NOT!”

Let this sink in.

If God tells us not to fear, perhaps I should listen. Perhaps I should pause after reading or hearing, breathe, become aware of God’s presence around and through me, releasing my fears. What happens, happens. “It rains on the rich and poor alike.”

Relaxing into the presence of God takes us to a new level that we can figure it out and get through.
