The Light of Compassion
Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.—Matthew 5:17 (NIV)
But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. “Save me, Lord!” he shouted.—Matthew 14:30 (NLT)
Do you ever have the feeling that you’re in over your head? Maybe an unexpected bill, or a phone call with bad news sends you into a tailspin. Like Peter in the above verse, when you are frightened or worried, it’s okay to cry out to the Lord and know that He will stretch out His hand and catch you.
Father, replace my fears with the belief in Your ability to see me through life’s challenges.
Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.—Matthew 5:17 (NIV)
The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.—1 Timothy 1:14 (NIV)
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.—James 1:17 (NIV)
