Be Brave: Fear Only God, Not People

When my son Tim approached a ground squirrel in Drumheller to take a picture, the ground squirrel let out an ear-piercing screech to warn its family members of an approaching predator. It didn't run back into its hole for protection as I expected, but instead bravely risked its life by exposing itself to the perceived predator, all for the safety of others. I was impressed by the gallantry of this little creature!

The Bible says that we too, as children of the King, can be brave in this world against people who want to hurt/kill us, knowing they can never touch our soul. Our soul belongs to God and when we die we will live for eternity with Him in Heaven.

"Don't be afraid of those who want to kill your body;

they cannot touch your soul.

Fear only God,

who can destroy both soul and body in hell."

Matthew 10:28 (NLT)
