Imagine God approaching you and saying, “This is what you will look like in 40 years,” would you take the assignment? Paul did. Look back to Acts 9:15-16 where God tells Ananias that Saul will be told all he will have to endure. But the Lord said to Ananias, “Go! This man is my chosen instrument to carry my name before the Gentiles and their kings and before the people of Israel. 16 I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.”

Fear is all around us. Terrorism, foreclosures, bankruptcy, layoffs, furloughs, overdue bills, sickness and even death. And now Coronavirus, Covid-19. That brief list of problems to be feared was written before Coronavirus. Now we’ve been through the latest world pandemic. Even with that list some people can’t find enough to worry about so they can make things up. But, our God does not want us to live in fear and worry. For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. (2 Timothy 1:6-8) To the contrary, He wants us to have Peace and Joy in our lives.
