"Fear not..."

"But now, this is what the LORD says— he who created you,
O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel:







"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD, your God, 
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom,
Cush and Seba in your stead."
Isaiah 43:1-3

It is my responsibility as a believer to place my trust and confidence in the Lord. He has redeemed me! Why do I fear? 
Why am I so focused on my fears over my capabilities? 
Sometimes it feels like satan has a hold of my foot and I just can't seem to shake him off. So I've been in a rut lately. 
A lot of things weighing on me, that I haven't just laid at the feet of Jesus. When my fear and worry comes out of my mouth, part of me doesn't believe how much junk is in my brain; dampening my strength and confidence in what I can do.
THe Lord's strength cannot be dampened. He is my confidence. He leads me through the waters beside me, He keeps me safe from the blaze. 

Sincerely, 
Lindsay

  1. Linds you are so strong and you give your life to Jesus more than you know, or at least it seems to be that from an outsiders perspective. You can tell you have a heart of Gold that strives on your faith. Keep your head up and shake that foot.
