no fear

Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

– Luke 12:32-34

Last week I was attending my weekly Bible study group where we are studying the book Fear and Faith by Trillia Newbell.

On a whim I googled (love the googles) “how many times does the Bible say ‘do not fear’”

365 times

That means that there is a verse telling us “do not fear” for every single day of the year.

If God were to examine where our heart is, where would He look?

Is our heart shrouded in fear?

Are we hoarding our finances out of fear of not having enough, or are we taking care of those who have less, knowing that God will provide?

It has been said that if one wants to know what we really value, the first place to look is our checkbook.

If you look at your spending habits,  what will you see?

Give some of your resources to those in need and watch what happens to your heart.

And remember His word: do not fear.

God wants us to take care of each other.  

He is going to take care of you.

Have a blessed day!
