Do not worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will have its own worries. The troubles we have in a day are enough for one day.
- Matthew 6:34 (NLV)
Did you know that fear and worry are synonymous?
Crazy, isn’t it?
Fear the noun is defined as “an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat.”
Worry as a noun is defined as “a state of anxiety and uncertainty over actual or potential problems.”
I see how these could be related.
But did you know there is a song out there called Fear Is Not My Future?
It’s pretty long, so stick with me and I’ll just highlight a few verses:
Let Him turn it in your favor
Watch Him work it for your good
'Cause He's not done with what He started
He's not done until it's good
So let Him turn it in your favor
Watch Him work it for your good
He's not done with what He started
He's not done until it's good
Hello, peace
Hello, joy
Hello, love
Hello, strength
Hello, hope, it's a new horizon
...
If you're ready for a breakthrough, yeah
Just open up and just receive, hey
'Cause what He's pouring out is nothing
You've ever seen (you've ever seen)
You've ever seen, yeah
Hello, peace
Hello, joy
Hello, love (hello)
Hello, strength (hey)
Hello, hope, it's a new horizon
Can you see the sun comin' up?
...
It's just a new horizon
It's a new day
...
It's a new prayer
...
Fear is not my future
You are, You are (You are)
Sickness is not my story
You are, You are (You are)
Heartbreak's not my home (you can't stay here no more)
You are, You are (You are) (death is not the end)
Death is not the end (Jesus)
You are, You are (You are)
...
There's glory after this, heartbreaking
Heartbreak's not my home
...
You're writing the story
You're writing my story
Here we go, one more time, one more time
Fear is not
Fear is not my future
You are (You are), You are
Sickness is not your story
Sickness is not my story
You are, You are (You are)
Heartbreak
Heartbreak is not my home
You are (You are), You are
Death is not the end
Death is not the end
Jesus
You are (You are), You are
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
There's more to the story
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
The biggest fear is that the resurrection was not complete
The biggest lie is that this life is all that there is
And so we live in a fear of not knowing that God's work is complete in us
And the problem with not having confidence in the resurrection
Is that we don't know in the end if we will live again
But I want you to know that the pain you face is temporary
The cancer you face is temporary
The disease you face is just temporary
Because every believer that's washed in the blood of the Lamb
Will live to live again
How many of you know that this is not the end for the child of God?
This is only just the appetizer for the main meal
For when we see Him, we shall be like Him
When He cracks the sky, everything, every time, to see the Lamb of God
And we will be just like Him
Will somebody say Hallelujah?
Fear is not
Fear is not my future
You are (who is it?), You are
Sickness is not my story
You are, You are
Heartbreak is not my home
You are (You are), You are
Death is not the end (Death is not the end)
We will see Him, one day
You are (You are), You are
Hey
It's not the end
This is not the end
...
We've only just began
We've only just began
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
This is not the end
This is not the end
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Goodbye, fear
Goodbye, guilt
Goodbye, shame
Goodbye, pain
Goodbye grave, it's a new horizon
Goodbye, fear
Goodbye, guilt
Goodbye, shame
Goodbye, pain
Goodbye grave, it's a new horizon, yeah
Let the Light on in
It's a new day
Let the Light on in
It's a new horizon
Let the Light in
...
Will you be aware it's a new day?
..
He's doing a new thing
...
Open up your eyes, He's doing a new thing
Forgetting what's behind, He's doing a new thing
...
I hope you read through those lyrics because they really say a lot.
Fear is not a future that we need to claim.
He’s got us.
