First Steps – August 13, 2018

As you begin this week, I invite you to reflect upon Daniel 10:19a (whenever there is a lowercase letter attached to a verse it relates to what part of the verse is highlighted.  For instance, “a” relates to the first phrase of the verse, “b” relates to the second phrase of the verse, etc.):

“Don’t be afraid for you are very precious to God; be at peace and be strong and of good courage…”

Repeat this verse over and over today.  Take at least five minutes this morning pondering the verse. Imagine the peace of God encompassing you, giving you strength.  Therefore, you do not have to be afraid!
