Never Let Go, Matt Redman

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Your perfect love is casting out fear
And even when I'm caught in the middle of the storms of this life
I won't turn back
I know You are near

And I will fear no evil
For my God is with me
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?

Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me

And I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
We'll live to know You here on the earth

Yes, I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
Still I will praise You, still I will praise Youhttp://youtu.be/OKjayagPbWw

What is Fear Keeping You From Doing?

Most of us, just like the Heroes Shakespeare used in his writings have character flaws. These stories can teach us important lessons. Just as in one of the Heroes of the Bible, Abraham, the Father of our Faith, who's flaw was Fear. In Genesis 12:11-20, He yielded to his Fear that a ruler would kill him and steal his wife; and again in Genesis 20:2-13. Fearing for his life, he deceived both Pharoah and King Abimelech.
Because of this Fear he put at risk, God's plan that thru he and Sarah a great nation would arise, Genesis 12:1-3:
Now the LORD had said to Abram:
" Get out of your country,
   From your family
And from your father’s house,
To a land that I will show you.
I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you
And make your name Great;
And you shall be a Blessing.
  I will Bless those who Bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you All the families of the earth shall be Blessed.”

But before we judge Abraham, let's ask ourselves these questions.
For Fear of losing our job or business, do we compromise our Integrity? For Fear of appearing old-fashioned, do we set aside our values and morals? For fear of being ridiculed or misunderstood, do we neglect to share the Gospel and put someone's Eternity at risk?
The Only Thing that Will Conquer our Fears is Tenacious Faith in God's Presence, Protection, Power and Promises!
Do not let Fear put God's Wonderful Plans for You at Risk! Remember that He will never ask you to do anything that He will not bring to Completion, even if it requires His Miraculous Intervention as I can attest to!
Let Your Faith Overcome Your Fear and God will Turn Your Worry to Worship!

Diligence Keeps Going While Frustration Gives Up

Whatever Your Hand Finds To Do, Do It with All Your Might! Ecclesiastes 9:10
We've all had days, times or even seasons in our lives that everything seems to be going wrong! Circumstances in Life can be Discouraging, and you feel like just throwing in the towel!
What I have found to be True is if I will diligently work through problems and challenges in my business and personal life, I can experience Life Changing Lessons! Adversity can Strengthen and Build our Character and help us help others!
To work with diligence is Essential to every facet of our Spiritual and Physical Life!
