Going Before the Master
My husband died in our home. For some reason, I was afraid to go into the house. I went and lived with my mom and dad because fear gripped me very badly. I went before the Master to help me overcome this great fear. I had to, not just for me, but for the children to not see their mom in such a poor state. I cried out to the Master and this is the verse He gave me; His voice was so deep in my heart I never forgot it, “Fear not, for I am with you; I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” This is one of today’s verses, and along with the others, reminds us that even in times of trouble, the Lord is with us, guiding and protecting us, though it may not seem that way.
I was a new Christian when the Lord gave me those words, having only been saved a year, so it was not like I knew this scripture verse already. I go into more detail in my book, found at the My Book tab, about this matter; it is hard to explain everything. One thing I will say, I was a mess! The police put crime tape around my house and that pushed me over the line of hysteria. “What!?” I said, “A Crime!?” Jesus carried me through like only He could. I stayed away from that house for six months until we were forced to go back and live there. It took a while for me to fight the fear that would come on me afterwards. I would quote the scriptures over and over until I won the victory over fear. Thank you, Jesus, for never giving up on me, and today I still have His victory. Amen!
