Consider these thoughts carefully.
Think slowly. Deliberately.
What one thing do we seem to fear more than anything else?
DEATH
Would God desire to teach us not to fear death?
YES
How could He teach us--show us how to meet this fearful event--most effectively?
(Before you read my suggestions, think of your own plan for taking the "sting" out of this "most-feared"experience for His children.)
By allowing some of His most choice servants--including His Son--to experience death...
meeting it with peace
with gentleness
with dignity
with hope
with strength and
with victory.
And while we observe--watching them stand bravely--our fear would begin to diminish and would be replaced...
with peace
with gentleness
with dignity
with hope
with strength and
with victory.
So that when that time comes I, too, will stand, for He has said to me ...
And stand you will, for the Lord is able to make you stand. - Romans 14: 4b

About this Plan
Has your faith become more of a burden than a source of joy and rest? The Christian life is not difficult to live. It's impossible to live! God never intended for you to live it. Jesus Christ is the only one who who has ever successfully lived the Christian life, and His plan is to live it through you. We expend so much energy spinning our wheels, trying to live for God instead of allowing the Holy Spirit to live through us. In this deeply personal, encouraging devotional plan, Anabel Gillham comes alongside you to teach you how to allow Christ to express His overcoming life through you on a moment-by-moment basis. It will remind you of who you are in Christ. It will open the floodgates of God's grace, guiding you to experience true rest and freedom in the midst of the storms of life.
