Daily Bread – June 29, 2021 (The Third Day – Genesis 1:9-13) Romans 8:15 – You have not received back the spirit of slavery to fear, but you have received the spirit of sonship in which you cry out, “Abba, Father!” Part 2 ~ Perfect Love Casts Out All Fear Our Heavenly Father, Who has all power and authority over all things, loves us so much He has numbered the hairs of our head. With such tender care and devoted love, there is no reason for us to fear (Matthew 10:29-31; Luke 12:7). If we will simply give ourselves to relationship with the One Who loves us so, we will discover He is a faithful God Who is totally in control and devoted to our success. He will not allow us to be tested above what we can handle (1 Corinthians 10:13; 1 Peter 1:6-7). The Almighty will watch over us and faithfully establish all of the promises He has made (2 Corinthians 1:20; Hebrews 10:23; Romans 8:31). In knowing and believing this love God has for us, all fear is cast out (1 John 4:18). The torment of fear that would attempt to steal our confidence and faith is stopped when we yield to the leadership of the Holy Spirit (1 John 4:10-17; Romans 5:5). The Holy Spirit will overwhelm us with the love of God, and fill us with divine assurance. There is no fear in love; and through this love, faith works. All we need to do is be convinced of how much God loves us, and then it is easy to trust Him. Abiding in the love of God causes faith to surge from our lives like rivers of living water; and through this love, the faith that commands the wind and the waves, moves mountains, and makes all things possible works through us. God loved us so much He gave His only Son to deliver us from the law of sin and death; how much more may we now be confident He will give us everything pertaining to life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3-4)! Let your soul safely trust in Him, abide in His love, and find such comfort and assurance that all is well! God is working a miracle for you; never fear again. Blessings, Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
