What Is It That Scares You So Much, friend?

"God is still in control!" I woke up with that phrase on my phone as the world seemed to be going crazy once again! News about COVID, violence, and increased political strife was all over the T.V. and the internet.

And then there was me. My life had also been completely disrupted by the crises. Questions upon questions as well as great fear filled my mind…"What's going to happen next?" 

friend, maybe you're in a similar situation right now and just don't understand why you have to endure it. 

But God is using your breaking point to make an exclamation point of His power!

When Jesus was taken captive, He knew what was ahead of Him. He knew what He would die for! Yes, He knew that His point of suffering would become the "exclamation point" of life for us! For it is only because Jesus endured that terrible time, even dying on the cross, that we have access to hope, love, and eternal life!

Even when Peter wanted to "save" Him and drew his sword to cut off the ear of the high priest's servant, Jesus said, "'...Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given Me?'" (John 18:11 NIV) 

friend, you never know what "divine exclamation point" will come after a situation that's causing you fear, doubt, worry, and despair. But be reassured that God will not let you "carry your cup" without carrying YOU through it!

Would you like to ask Him today to take away your fear? "Jesus, help me to realize that through this situation, there's a 'divine exclamation point' You want to use to show me once again how powerful You are! Please carry me through this time and free me from my fears! In Your name, amen."

friend, there is life in abundance ahead of you!

You are a miracle!
