Wig’s Word of God Today 1-5-2011
This is how we know that we remain in Him and He in us, that He has given us of His Spirit. 1 John 4:13
They had all seen Him and were terrified. But at once He spoke with them, “Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid!” Mark 6:50
1 John 4:11-18, Psalm 72:1-2, 10, 12-13 & Mark 6:45-52
A battle cry for all Humanity: “Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid!” If we know He is in us, then we know His Spirit will guide us to have courage for anything we undertake. “Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him and he in God.” 1 John 4:15 From this perfect love we can drive out all fear from our minds and hearts and become one with God to accomplish His Will in anything we undertake. “There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear because fear has to do with punishment, and so one who fears is not yet perfect in love.” 1 John 4:18
I can imagine as the Bible teaches us that it was very hard for even the Apostles to see and believe Jesus was the Son of God. “They had not understood the incident of the loaves. On the contrary, their hearts were hardened.” Mark 6:52 Jesus just fed 5000 people from five loaves of bread and two fish and then He walked on water, how would you feel? Scared? Liberated? How many of us have accepted Christ as our Savior and received graces immediately? In loving your love of Christ, you can expect an abundance of grace in your life. It’s when you experience the problems of living, does your true faith become tested and then we heed His words, “Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid!”
And so we pray: Heavenly King, Almighty Father, we pray today to be courageous by our surrender in Your Son’s Truth. Guide is to show this courage by our practice, by our prayer and by our proclamation. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
God Bless,
