Luke 12: 1-7
At that time: So many people were crowding together that they were trampling one another underfoot. Jesus began to speak, first to his disciples, "Beware of the leaven–that is, the hypocrisy–of the Pharisees.
"There is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known. Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be proclaimed on the housetops. I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body but after that can do no more. I shall show you whom to fear. Be afraid of the one who after killing has the power to cast into Gehenna; yes, I tell you, be afraid of that one. Are not five sparrows sold for two small coins? Yet not one of them has escaped the notice of God. Even the hairs of your head have all been counted. Do not be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows.
Dawg's thought:
Today's prayer intention is for Pope John Paul II, who celebrated 25 years as Pope yesterday.
God tells His people "do not be afraid" many times throughout the Bible. Today, this phrase is used in regards to how much God loves and knows us. Every act of sin is an act of fear, and therefore, every act of sin is an act where we have failed to see the love of God. What are the sins that habitual for you? Look at that sin and really pray about what fear drives that sin. May God Bless you abundantly this weekend with prayerful rest in Him. Take care and God Bless.
