Monday Musings (On Wednesday) - Part II - This Is A Time To Trust - Putting Fear Into Proper Perspective

As I noted in a prior post, there are at least 107 times in the New Testament that Jesus tells us ‘fear not,” or “do not fear,” or “do not be afraid.” Could He be any clearer? Everything that He allows to happen in our lives is for our eternal benefit. So why do we refuse to believe Him?

When we look at fear only through our earthly, human eyes, despair rushes to our side. However, if we look at fear from God's perspective, we find peace and resignation to whatever befalls us.

A recent column by Father Denis Lemieux of Madonna House published in the May-June 2020 issue of Restoration, entitled Do Not Be Afraid, is a must read for all souls during these challenging times. Father's post is the best I have read on this subject. It should be circulated far and wide.

You can read his column here. Let us pray for such faith! If you agree with my assessment, please pass this post on.
