Great Perspective from Jim Heidinger @ Good News

"Greetings to you in the strong name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and our Savior.

With all that is going on in our nation, it is surely no understatement to say that we are living in uncertain times. The temptation in days like these is to allow fear and worry to overwhelm the hearts and minds of God’s most faithful people.

In the midst of it all I am reminded of King David’s good word, “Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil” (Psalm 37:8). I do not cite this verse glibly. As the leader of a faith-based, non-profit ministry, I am more than sensitive to the anxiety and difficulties families are feeling in this pinched economy.

With God’s help, it is my prayer that we resist fear and worry. Let us persevere even when the days are difficult. Paul told Timothy that “God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” (2 Tim. 1:7)"
