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.

Daily D – Luke 1:76-79

Luke 1:76-79 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,
to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.
(NIV)

Daily D – John 20:24-28

John 20:24-28 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

Daily D – John 18:10-11

John 18:10, 11 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

Daily D – John 13:3-5

John 13:3-5 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

Daily D – John 11:6

John 11:6 “So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days, . . .”
