No fear

GOOD FRIDAY

Then Moses raised his hand over the sea, and the Lord opened up a path through the water with a strong east wind. ~ Exodus 14:21 (NLT)

I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us. ~ Romans 8:38-39 (MSG)

KEY IDEA:
God's love can drive back waters and raise the dead. We don't have to be afraid.
PRAYER:
Lord God, on this Good Friday I am always refreshed to hear that your love is more powerful than death. It even defeats death. So why am I afraid? Why do I act irresponsibly because I act out of that fear? Help me to see that Good Friday really is good -- that your love always breaks through -- and that I do not need to act out of fear. Amen.
