Don't be afraid!

Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.

Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you and help you.

I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.

Isaiah 41:10 (NLT)

This reading was taken from my Lectio365 reading recently.

Do you remember that I recently admitted a little reticence when it comes to money? It's understandable when it comes to finding my feet in these early days of retirement. Will I figure it out? 

I recently read a quote which is attributed to Elisabeth Elliot that says, “Fear arises when we imagine that everything depends on us.”

It doesn't. It all depends on God. 

And as Les Brown once wrote: “You are never too old to set a new goal or dream a new dream.”
