An angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. 10 Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy ... For there is born to you this day ... a Savior.
Luke. Angels. Luke 2:8–11. Hi, it’s Nathan, and this is Day 25 of 30 Days of Pushing Back Fear. We find ourselves again. Afraid. When God shows up. With good news. Listen. It’s a real thing. When God shows up in your life—bringing with him all the very best—don’t be surprised if you freak out—and then hear his words, ‘Take a deep breath, my child, it’s me—the source of your best dreams and highest hopes. And I bring you good news. The very best.’ The news of a Savior—the One who brings all good things with him. The One who secures your very best future. The One who holds the solutions to your most tangled messes. To you ... a Savior.
