Isaiah 44:2

 The Lord who made you and helps you says:
   Do not be afraid, O Jacob, my servant,
      O dear Israel, my chosen one.

Oh Isaiah, if there ever was a most terrific prophet, you were it. He prophesied so much of Christ's life, birth, and death that he would have recognized Christ if he had come, unlike the Jewish people, crushed under Roman rule. The LORD made us, and we do not have to fear. We do not have to fear this life or the one to come, or anything else. God casts down our enemy and conquers. It is easy to fear, for we do not understand the future. We are constantly assaulted by the spirit of fear everywhere we go, enhanced by the television and people themselves. Fear is the opposite of love, and fear is the opposite of God, for God is love. God's Spirit will set us free from fear, and we will live under His rule and His love forever and ever.

Praying you have faith, hope, and love always, 

Rachel
