Isaiah 8

I am not afraid of evil tidings on earth because my heart is fixed on you, Lord. I do not fear the things the unsaved fear, nor am I afraid as they are.

You speak your word to me, Lord. You guide me with a strong hand, and you instruct me that I should not walk in the way of fearful people.

So, I do not join with the fearful conspiracy group. I am not afraid of the threats they see, or the threats they make.

Instead, I sanctify the Lord Jesus in my heart, and I am not troubled. God, my heavenly father, is the one I fear. His is the opinion that I care about.

You, father, are my sanctuary. You are a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense to much of the world. Your plan for a savior is a trap and a snare to many.

But I wait upon you, Lord. I hope in you and in Jesus, your Messiah, and my Lord and Savior. Now, here I am with you and all the children you have called to be yours.
