And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good? 14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.”
Peter. 1 Peter 3:13–14. Hi, it’s Nathan, and this is Day 24 of 30 Days of Pushing Back Fear. So, no trouble-free-life promised here. But blessing, in spite of whatever. The blessed life is the one running over with God’s good, delightful presence, in the middle of whatever. So, what if choosing this good life with God, does cost you something? It will truly be of little consequence in the big scheme of things—a passing inconvenience, quickly forgotten in the wonderful delight of his love. So, don’t shake and tremble in face of trouble and threat. You’re living in the space of blessing—with God.
