6/21 Psalm 23:4
4 Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.
WALK
Yes, we can walk safely through life.
No fear, God is here.
No fear, God is close.
A promise without a caveat.
His love and desire to be with us trumps our foolishness.
God is love and He pours out His love on us.
He loves us so much He will discipline us.
When the discipline is done He will comfort us.
God loves you.
6/20 Psalm 56:3
3 But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.
AFRAID
Fear creates a response in us.
We are afraid.
Afraid of a wealthy person.
Afraid of tomorrow.
Afraid, afraid, afraid!
So much is uncertain in life and fear stalks every path.
Jesus calls us to come to Him.
He will deal with our fear and give us courage.
Put your trust in Jesus and He will never leave your side.
6/19 Psalm 34:4
4 I prayed to the LORD, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears.
FREES
Life is challenging.
Fear is real.
The unknown causes a lot of our fear and anxiety.
But the Lord Jesus frees us from our fear and anxiety.
He is with us-His promise is freedom.
We are living a Christ filled life now.
Claim your freedom by Holy Spirit thru Jesus Christ now.

All the chaos and trouble will not overwhelm you.
The Lord is with you.
The Holy Spirit gives you strength.
Do not fear, Jesus is with you.
Don’t panic, He will equip you to keep going.
The Lord will never fail you.
6/17 Deuteronomy 3:22

He controls all things, therefore surrender yourself to the Lord’s control.
06/16 Matthew 25:35-40
35 For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home.
36 I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’
37 “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink?
38 Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing?
39 When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’
40 “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’
HANDS AND FEET
We are the hands and feet of Jesus.
We are called to care for the poor,
Care for widows and orphans,
Go and love one another,
In such a way that it impacts
Everyone we meet.
Jesus is Lord of all that we have and are.
06/15 Matthew 5:42
42 Give to those who ask, and don’t turn away from those who want to borrow.
COMMUNITY
We live in community.
To the world we are united into one body-the church.
Love one another.
Help one another.
Take care of the poor.
06/14 Proverbs 31:8-9
8 Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed.
9 Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless, and see that they get justice.
JUSTICE
Justice for the poor is important to the Lord.
He calls us to help where we can.
He calls us to help even if it costs us.
Sometimes it will cost dearly.
Help the poor and mistreated-make sure justice is given.
06/13 Proverbs 21:13
13 Those who shut their ears to the cries of the poor will be ignored in their own time of need.
NEED
Christians meet the need of those around them.
Helping those at a distance, people we don’t know,
Isn’t a blessing if we don’t help those we see and can know.
People need people.
We are our brother’s keeper.
06/12 Proverbs 19:17
17 If you help the poor, you are lending to the LORD — and he will repay you!

Take care of the poor.
This is a command with a promise.
The Lord Himself will be in our debt,
And He will repay us.
Lending to the Lord is a wise action.
Follow Jesus.
Do unto others.
Christ is King.
