In this age of discord, division, pandemic, and rampant sin in the earth, it is only human that a person dwelling in this place would be afraid, feel out of control, and believe themselves to be at the mercy of these circumstances, but as believers, Christians see the truth, and say “Fear not, and take heart!”. As Christians we are not to consider ourselves ruled by the happenings of this world, but are patient citizens of Heaven who await lovingly, with control over our fears, for the day when we will return to our Father’s Kingdom. If we live our earthly lives in fear, or by believing it has something to offer us, then we have been deceived, for all real love and power rests with our Father… not here in this fallen world.
