There are a lot of scary things going on right now in the world. What should we be afraid of? To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage means that instead of obeying fear, we will live by faith. There will be times in our lives where all we have to go on is God's word. If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, you will go through some horrifying things. If you don't follow Jesus, you should be terrified, for there is no hope for you. Are you ready to meet Jesus?
Sex is designed by God to be an expression of love between a man and a woman who are married to each other. The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. If these statements, which are from God, were obeyed, our nation and world would be in a much better condition. We must be content with what we have. The Lord will take care of all of His children and give them all they need. He has promised it.
God promises to punish all liars in Hell forever. When people are liars, they cannot trust anyone else. Often times, fear is tied to guilt. When our consciences are not clear we feel guilty. Jesus can and will clear our consciences. Joseph asks his brothers the key question that would stop him from trying to get revenge; "Am I in the place of God"? Satan will try to use fear to keep us from blessings that God has promised. Christian burial is not a carryover from paganism, it is a reminder that wherever we are buried is not our final home.
We see that Isaac's family has a generational problem of deceit. Isaac thought he was going to die because he lost his eyesight. We should take good care of our bodies by eating right and exercising. Isaac would spend decades waiting to die. Whatever time we have, we need to use it for the glory of God. We may die sooner than we anticipate or we may die later than we anticipate. Only God knows how many days are left. Even if our parents try to get us to do something wrong, we are not to do it. No one has the authority to get us to do God forbids or forbid us from doing something God commands. We are not to trust people who are not trustworthy. Some people will bring the Lord into their lies in order to deceive. Our words matter and even if our earthly fathers did not bless us, we can receive blessings from our Heavenly Father for eternity. God did not choose Jacob because he was a better man, God chose Jacob because He wanted to choose Jacob.
