Fear Not

Daily Reading – Joshua 21-22 / Luke 9:28-62
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
Luke 9:56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
Sadly, many people live in fear of God. They think of God as vengeful. As though He is sitting in heaven waiting to punish people for every little thing they do wrong.
Think about that for a second. If God wanted to hurt us for our sins, couldn’t He have done that any day of the week? Truthfully, most of us unwittingly or willingly violate God’s law and sin against Him often. We should not want to sin, but we live in a sin filled world. If God really wanted to get us, He could.
Today’s verse tells us more about who God really is. He is not out to destroy us, but to save us. Save us eternally from hell, and also from sin, self, and Satan. You serve a loving God, not a vengeful God.
