PJP2 PROLOG - 161031 - PROLOG Focus: Exodus 14:13-14........ON FEAR....NO fear -
Psalm 136:1 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."Give Thanks To The Lord, For He Is Good, For His Steadfast LOVE Endures Forever."....
PJP2 PROLOG POST - 161031 - ON FEAR....NO fear -Exodus 14:13-14 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."And Moses said to the people, “Fear NOT, Stand Firm, And SEE The Salvation Of The Lord, Which He Will Work For you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you Shall Never See again. THE LORD WILL FIGHT FOR you, And you Have Only To Be Silent."....
I know whenever I see the word 'fear', the first thing that comes to mind is the 'fright/flight' reaction that's hard-wired into every man/woman/child. We all have a 'fear' of something.....(also reminds me of Lucy's diagnosis for Charlie Brown.....he's afraid of everything.....). So, it is easy for me, as we read today's PJP2 PROLOG POST 161031 POWS (Exodus 14:13-14) to visualize why the Israelites would be a bit jumpy as they see the Pillar of Fire begun to shrink, the Egyptian Army roaring down upon them, and the Red Sea still billowing and churning in front of them.....faith, trust, hope....they would potentially all be a bit thin at this point in time (would be for me I'm certain).
BUT, think about it - isn't that exactly where we need to be? I mean, don't we have to get to the point that we understand, fully, that we can NOT do this, face that, even hope to succeed without His Presence in our midst?
The Examples our Lord Jesus, His Holy Spirit, and God The Father Provide us of His Truth go on and on. Let alone the Examples we could each share from our own Walks With Him.
Thus, for This Halloween 2016 (and for the next Eight Days and beyond our U.S. Presidential Election - regardless of what candidates are elected) - My Prayer for us would be - Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father God, Thank You for Ever Being with us. Lord Jesus, regardless of the circumstances we personally face, or we face as a Nation - Encourage and Strengthen us to Ever Look First To You. Holy Spirit, Calm our worried Hearts. Remind us, Father God, that You Are In Control, and Ultimately, no matter what, Your Will, Will Be Done. Lord Jesus, Help us Ever to Reflect Your Light and Grace. In Your Holy Name we Pray....Amen and Amen....jaj
Psalm 27:1 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."The Lord Is my LIGHT And my Salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord Is The Stronghold Of my LIFE; of whom shall I be afraid?"....
