"Fear Not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; Your are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the river, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scotch you. For I am the Lord your God. " Isaiah 43:1-2
"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."
2 Timothy 1:7
God has given us a spirit of power; we have all his power backing us. We are safe in his hands. God has given us a spirit of love to serve others and he has given us a sound mind to be calm and self-controlled and not give into panic and confusion that people are experiencing in today's world with the coronavirus lock downs; fear created by news media, even by our church leaders, and so called science professionals. God has not given us a spirit of fear, and we need to humbly receive and walk in what He has given us (a spirit ... of power and of love and of a sound mind).
We live our lives in moments, hours, days. During profound grief, healing can come when we pick a wonderful moment from time to cherish. A healing process is to take a good moment from our lives: a trail walk, a beach sunrise, misty mountain morning, a walk in the moonlight.
