Daily devotion with Jon Courson November 23 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them. Deuteronomy 7:21 What do you fear? At any given moment, I am living in fear and so are you - either in the fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of wisdom and success (Proverbs 9:10), or in the fear of man, which is a snare (Proverbs 29:25). “What are your goals for the coming school year?” I asked my two youngest kids. About to start seventh grade, Ben looked at me and said, “I have two goals, Dad. The first is to remember where my locker is; the second is to be able to open it.” Ben was kidding - sort of. But remember seventh grade? Lockers and combinations and PE? Remember all those fears? Well, guess what? You made it! You’re here. You got through those junior high years. So too, the exhortation of Moses to the congregation at the Jordan was, “Remember how much God has done for you already. He’s not going to let you down now.” God loves you, gang. He proved it to us on the Cross. So do what He’s called you to do and don’t fear. Don’t listen to the whisper of the Enemy. Instead, say, “Lord, You’ve loved me so passionately, I’m going to do what You direct me to, let the chips fall where they may.” Jesus put it this way: “Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom” (Luke 12:32). Fear not and watch and see how God will bless you.
