Fear of Death

The great sense of loss that follows the death of someone we love can cause us to feel unsure of our surroundings. What seemed permanent and reliable now seems temporary and unsure. Fear can creep into our waking ours and distort our dreams in our sleep.

It is good to remember, though life is temporary and brief at best, God’s word lasts forever (1 Peter 1:24-25). What God has planned for your life cannot be waylaid or distorted by anyone (Job 42:2; Psalm 139:16). He will accomplish what he has set out to do in your spiritual life (Psalm 138:8; Philippians 1:6).

When God makes a stand, no one can push him over.
