FRET NOT
Be anxious for nothing, do not be overwhelmed about anything, for God has not given us a spirit of fear, but he gave us a spirit fortified with power, overflowing with love, and balanced by a soundness of mind. If you are indeed crucified with Christ your former life is dead to this world and your life now flows out of the life of Christ.
If your life is hid in Christ then you have the benefit of a shield of faith which quenches all the fiery darts of the evil one. If indeed you’re a living sacrifice your mind should not be in conformity to this world but to the contrary it should be constantly renewed by the spirit.
For God did not give us the spirit of the world, but his own Spirit that we might freely know what his good, acceptable, and perfect will is concerning us. He exhorts us to fret not about evildoers, nor allow ourselves to be overcome by anger, and to forsake wrath. But in all things give thanks because all things are working for our good, because we love God and are called for his purposes.
Therefore brethren be strong and have courage, dwell in the power of his mightiness; stand immovable in the faith which has been given to all his saints, for the Lord your God is with you, who can stand against his mighty hand. Trust in Him, find comfort in his presence, know that whatever the need may be, it shall come in its due season.
Serenity is not a concept with God, peace is a byproduct of our relationship with him. Joy that is a wellspring of life bubbles as a refreshing brook within, when we come to Him it is like drawing from deep and cool waters quenching our thirst, O come to the waters of life and drink freely of its life giving flow. Selah!
Shalom, Agape, & Amen!
