Isaiah 41:9, 10
”I brought you from the ends of the earth
and called you from its farthest corners.
I said to you: You are my servant;
I have chosen you; I haven’t rejected you.
Do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be afraid, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you; I will help you;
I will hold on to you with my righteous right hand.” (CSB)

Isaiah 41: 13
”For I am the Lord your God,
who holds your right hand,
who says to you, “Do not fear,
I will help you. (CSB)

Psalm 118:6
”The Lord is for me; I will not be afraid.
What can a mere mortal do to me?“ (CSB)

Yesterday was a long day. I decided to sleep a bit later since bedtime the night before was likewise later. An important meeting loomed. Fresh thinking was essential. Sleep helps clear away the cobwebs of our days and untangles our thoughts for clarity.

Then the phone rang a few minutes into my overtime rest. My total extra sleep amounted to around twenty minutes. It was good phone call. I needed to get up. The meeting went well.

Our flights home successfully avoided the worst of the weather. We arrived at midnight. I got home at 12:45ish. The pillow felt so good when my head lay down around 1:30.

One glass of water and two cups of coffee into this day, some of my favorite Bible verses showed up in today’s reading plan. They are so good, commentary is unnecessary. They are so wonderful, I know them by heart. They are so welcome, I smile as I sound them out again.

If you ever wanted to begin memorizing the Bible but didn’t know where to start, here you go.

What puts the fear of God in fear? God.

Who comforts fearful souls? God.

We have his word on it.

Let’s live fearlessly today.

—

I will live fearlessly today because God is in charge here.

—

Our Father, you are with us. You are for us. You have chosen us. You strengthen us. You hold us. That’s good news! Amen.

1 Samuel 25:32-34 David said to Abigail, “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who has sent you today to meet me. May you be blessed for your good judgment and for keeping me from bloodshed this day and from avenging myself with my own hands. Otherwise, as surely as the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, who has kept me from harming you, if you had not come quickly to meet me, not one male belonging to Nabal would have been left alive by daybreak.”
