I would also like to greet you with words of encouragement by saying “Fear Not!!!“

When we look around us, we feel a sense of uncertainty and insecurity at so many things. It could be our finance, job, health, family…nations are going through economic crisis…Job cuts everywhere…We do not know what tomorrow will bring to us. We do not know if we will be able to manage and cope up with the challenges that are going to come our way. There is more reason to fear.

What an awesome and comforting thing it is to know that the Creator God is telling us “Fear Not”. As the children of the Most High God, we put our trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and we have every reason to get rid of this fear. Though we do not know as to what tomorrow will bring to us, we know for sure that we are safe in the hands of The One who controls tomorrow. One of my favorite songs goes like this …”Because He lives; we can face tomorrow…Because He lives…all fear is gone…”

The first greeting of “Fear Not” is found in the book of Genesis 15:1. The word of the Lord came to Abraham, “Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; and your exceeding great reward”. As we put our trust in God, He will be our protector this year in all the things. He will be our shelter and shield. With him as our shield, nothing will strike us. “A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you” – Psalms 91:7

So we will enter this New Year with confidence and great expectation, because Jesus is our leader and the captain who says that He is in total control. Though the enemy may try his very best to pretend that he is in control, he is NOT, definitely NOT. Jesus says that He is the First and the Last; He is alpha and Omega, He holds the keys of hell and death which explains that He is in absolute control. He himself will be our reward this year.

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose”. Romans 8 – 28
