"FEAR NOT!"

“But while he thought on these things, behold, 

the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, 

saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take 

unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived

 in her is of the Holy Ghost.” 

(Matthew 1:20)

Can we sleep in the midst of terror; can we have peace when the world all around us is shaking, quaking, and being invaded with killers; can we rest on a soft pillow when we know it's come to the end of the Age? The answer is yes, Yes, and YES!  Joseph was about to marry a girl who insists she is "with child" of the Holy Ghost, and when he lay down that night in a restless, doubtful, confused sleep, his tormented dreams were interrupted with the presence of an angel.  Angels still interrupt, still visit, still hover, still guard, still bring those wonderful, powerful, beautiful, calming, ethereal, welcoming words, "FEAR NOT!" 

We are to mount up as Eagles and be strong, but it feels like we're flying in the darkest time of the night  ...  But, wait, there's a glow, a piercing brilliant light guiding our way, bringing warmth and comfort, resting its aura upon our troubled brows, and we can hear a whisper wafting through the winds.  It's the voice of our Beloved, the caressing tone of the Lover of our souls, the echo from the eternal, saying "FEAR NOT!" 

We are not alone; as we gaze at our reflections, there's ONE who gazes upon us, who watches while we sleep, orders our steps, plots our assignments, carries us in the storms, goes before us and prepares our way, and He knows all, sees all, guides all, IS all, and orchestrates all; He holds the keys to death, Hell, and the grave  ...  We're in good hands, the hands of our mighty Lord Jesus Christ!  He protects us, stands up for us, covers us, and nothing shall come nigh us without His permission.  That is, if we BELONG to Him, if we have repented, received the Holy Ghost and spoken in tongues as His Spirit gave us the utterance, if we have been baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins  ...  then we can count on His provision, His hand, His protection, His angels, His "Fear Not!" 

He holds the world in His hands; the earth is His footstool; He sits upon the corner of the earth; He blinks and the winds roar; He stands and the heavens thunder; He turns and the rains fall  ...  He IS!  Knowing this, the created "dust" is wise to rebuke those fears, and replace them with faith in the Creator of that dust.  We shall behold Him coming in the clouds; He will set His feet on the Mount of Olives once again; He will raise His arms and we will study War no more  ...  He IS the Lord God Almighty, the HOLY One of Israel, the great and mighty King, Jesus Christ our Lord, and He holds the universe in HIS omnipotent infinite hands  ... So, "FEAR NOT!"
