08 Nov 05 These are a few of my favorite words . . .

There are many examples in the Bible, many instances of God speaking to someone. He spoke directly and indirectly to some. He spoke to and through some. He spoke for and against some.

There are some words I would not welcome hearing. There are some words my ears would open wide to embrace. Like these words spoken to Daniel:

“. . . don’t be afraid. God loves you very much. Peace be with you. Be strong now; be courageous.” (Daniel 10:19 NCV)

Think about your day today. As you do what you need to do on this day imagine these words personally directed to you.

“Don’t be afraid. God loves you very much. God’s peace is with you today. So, be strong now and be courageous.”
