Be of Good Cheer

Be of Good Cheer

Here’s a test: how far do you have to go to hear the reminder Be afraid? How near is your next You’re in trouble memo? A flip of the newspaper page? A turn of the radio dial? A glance at the internet? According to the media, the world is one scary place.

There’s a stampede of fear out there. Let’s not get caught in it. Let’s be among those who stay calm. Let’s be numbered among those who hear a difference voice—God’s! Courage doesn’t panic, it prays. Courage doesn’t bemoan, it believes. Courage listens to the voice of God calling through Scripture.

  • “When reports come in of wars and rumors of wars, keep your head and don’t panic.” (Matthew 24:6)
  • “Be of good cheer, your sins are forgiven.” (Matthew 9:2)
  • “Let not your heart be troubled.” (John 14:1)

Trust these and other words from God, my friend, and fear less.
