but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. – Luke 2:10 (NLT)
This week we’re going to talk a little about uncertainty. Right now, things feel uncertain. The future is unknown and scary. To top it off, you might not even know what school is going to look like for you this year. In times like these, when things are uncertain, it’s easy to become fearful.
If we aren’t careful fear will steal our joy in every area of our lives.
The truth is, God doesn’t want fear to steal joy from our lives. Today’s Bible verse shows us that God reassured Mary to not fear. Even though she got some news that caused her uncertainty, the angel told her not to be afraid.
You probably feel a little like Mary. Life this year probably isn’t going how you expected and you keep receiving news that feels bad. However, in the midst of all the uncertainty, we can walk free from fear and live in joy.
Today, choose to look to God. Realize that He loves you and will help you through every uncertain situation.
