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.

Jeremiah 29:7, 11, 13 “Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.”
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”

Daily D – Jeremiah 24:4-7

Jeremiah 24:4-7 Then the word of the LORD came to me: “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Like these good figs, I regard as good the exiles from Judah, whom I sent away from this place to the land of the Babylonians. My eyes will watch over them for their good, and I will bring them back to this land. I will build them up and not tear them down; I will plant them and not uproot them. I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the LORD. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me with all their heart.”

Daily D – Jeremiah 18:1-6

Jeremiah 18:1-6 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD: “Go down to the potter’s house, and there I will give you my message.” So I went down to the potter’s house, and I saw him working at the wheel. But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him.

Then the word of the LORD came to me. He said, “Can I not do with you, Israel, as this potter does?” declares the LORD. “Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, Israel.”

Daily D – Jeremiah 17:7-8

Jeremiah 17:7, 8
“But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD,
whose confidence is in him.
They will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit.”
