Pastor’s Pen
Fri, 10/11/2024 - 12:00am
He will not leave you, destroy you, or forget you and the covenant with your fathers Deuteronomy 4:30-31 Fear is a peculiar thing. It doesn’t only strike when we are in peril. Sometimes it shows up for no real reason at all. It just happens! But there are other times when there is a very good reason for our fear. One thing is for certain, whenever we feel afraid, no matter if what we are afraid of is big or small, we can handle it. How? Because God is always with you. God will never forsake you. Praying to Him when you start to panic not only provides serenity in your heart, it also assists you in putting your fear into perspective. There is no storm he cannot calm.

No doubt they will be golfing together on the best courses and fishing on the most beautiful rivers.”
