Fear Not

“Fear Not”

Judy Royal Glenn Photography

This past year has been hectic for many people because of the COVID-19 virus. Isolation, anxiety, fear, stress, grief, and depression can have devastating affects on the body. Give all of it to Jesus and trust in Him!

Let these verses wash over you. May they bring you comfort!

“Be still and know that I am God!” (Psalm 46:10, NLT).

“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10, ESV).

“I want you to be free from anxieties” (1 Corinthians 7:32, ESV).

“Say to those who have an anxious heart, “Be strong; fear not! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God. He will come and save you” (Isaiah 35:4, ESV).

“He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection” (Psalm 91:4, NIV).

“But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint” (Isaiah 40:31, NIV).

“When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy” (Psalm 94:19, NIV).

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38-39, NIV).

“And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?” (Matthew 6:27, ESV).

“I sought the LORD, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears” (Psalm 34:4, ESV).

“When I am afraid, I put my trust in you” (Psalm 56:3, NIV).

“So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever” (2 Corinthians 4:18, NLT).

“A Hole”

Judy Royal Glenn Photography

There are many quotes about autumn, trees, and the symbolism of dead leaves falling. 

Leaves are beautiful in the autumn—watching their hues change into beautiful yellows, oranges, and reds is stunning. Even though there are holes in this beautiful autumn leaf, the hole is letting the sun shine through. 

I’ve had plenty of dark days and nights, but I know the Lord is always with me. He is the light that is shining through. 

All of us have a hole. We as humans feel that void and many fill it with worldly things. This void is our human spirit which was created for relationship with God. We can either chose to accept Him and let Him fill that space with the Holy Spirit or we can find things in the world to fill that void—usually in unhealthy ways.

“I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.” John 8:12

He is waiting for you to trust in Him and ask His Holy Spirit to feel the void you may be feeling. But, guess what? That is the easy part.

It’s as simple as ABC. A — Admit that you are a sinner. (Romans 3:23)    

B — Believe that Jesus, God’s only son, was born and died on the cross for your sins. (Acts 16:31)

C — Confess and repent of your sins and ask Him to be Lord of your life. (1 John 1:9)

His Love for Me

“His Love for Me”

Judy Royal Glenn Photography

During this difficult time of uncertainty because of the Coronavirus, you can rest assured God is in control.

Social distancing is something I’d never heard before this virus. You may be miles apart from your loved ones or feel miles apart from them in your own home. But God is with you every step of the way. 

I don’t know what you are going through, but God is greater. ”You, little children, are from God and have overcome them, because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.” 1 John 4:4  

Brian Littrell wrote a song titled Over my Head. Many years ago, I played it over and over a million times during one of the most difficult times in my life. Through his song, the Lord reached down and literally touched my heart and soul. He showed me the depths of His love for me. 1 John 4:4

Jeremiah 33:3 states, “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” 

Numbers 6:24-26 states, “May the LORD bless you and keep you;

May the LORD cause His face to shine upon you

And be gracious to you;

May the LORD lift up His countenance toward you

And give you peace.” 

It is neat that this monarch butterfly looks like he is giving the flower a hug.

In Disguise

“In Disguise”

Judy Royal Glenn Photography

Satan disguises himself in many ways, but the bottom line—he is there to steal, kill, and destroy. He may make things around us seem normal and innocent when in reality they aren’t good and drag us in the wrong direction.

The duckweed in this swamp is disguising the alligator, just like Satan, the father of lies will dress himself in sheep’s clothing to look like one of us and bring deception. He will tear us apart in a second!

But, we know the Lord has already defeated Satan! Let’s ask the Lord to open our eyes and show us Himself. The Lord brings abundant life!

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” John 10:10
