NO FEAR!!!

Psalms 118:6-9 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what man can do unto me? The Lord taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.

This passage was in my reading this morning. What a awesome truth. I will not fear what man can do unto me!!! Galatians 1:10 also comes to mind: For do I now persuade men or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

Alright! Let them laugh! Let them make fun! Let them accuse! Let them mock! Let them scorn! I will not fear what man can do unto me!!! God is still on the throne this morning! God still blesses those who love, those who forgive, those who follow his Word. Those who seek to be accepted of him! Those who preach and teach his Word! Yea all that live Godly SHALL suffer persecution! Show me man who has never had anything bad said about it him, and I will show you man who has never done anything! You cannot control the lies people say about you, but you can control the truth. Being a part of a Church is being able to forgive and be forgiven over and over again. We need to all make sure there is only one person we try to please, and that is the Lord Himself, high and lifted up. When we please HIM everyone else we need to please IS pleased!!! Praise the Lord for His unfailing, unchanging grace! I will not fear what man can do unto me!

The same chapter says in verse 24: This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Then in verse 29: O give thanks unto the Lord; For he is good: for his mercy endureth forever.
