https://DailyEvotional.com/ -- "Encourage one another daily..." (Hebrews 3:13).<br /><br />Isaiah 41:10<br /><br />“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”<br /><br />Isaiah 41:10 was one of the first verses I ever memorized. This Scripture has held me firm and steady through the most frightening situations of life. I am not ashamed to admit that there have been times when I have experienced fear either physically, emotionally, and perhaps even spiritually.<br /><br />As a police officer, I recall when I was confronted with a life and death situation. A deranged man had already fired two shots at four of us before we were finally able to disarm him without anyone being injured. It was a terrifying situation!<br /><br />I have felt the emotional fear of losing my two daughters and my precious wife. In these times of loss there is such a helpless feeling of impending separation. But then the reality of God’s provision of eternal life gives peace and assurance.<br /><br />In times of terror the Holy Spirit brings peace and certainty. It is a joy that the world can never know apart from the assurance God gives. Our treasures (loved ones) are waiting for us. GOD IS ALWAYS WITH US!<br /><br />May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!<br /><br />– – – Pastor Cecil
