Fearless

" What can stop you if God is with you?"


Today's Scripture:

I trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can people do to me?

Psalm 56:11


Fourteen year-old competitive Surfer Bethany Hamilton was featured on a program called Fearless. The program is about people who push the limits in outdoor sports. A shark attacked Bethany while she was surfing. Her left arm had to be amputated just below the shoulder. A few months after her recovery, she went back in the water and placed fifth in the National Surfing Championship. In later interviews, Bethany credited Jesus for her survival and her witness. Nothing and no one can take you away from God. Bethany knows this intimately. Throughout the unbelievable horror of being attacked by a shark, she was not alone. God was with her. God promises to be with you through every circumstance.


God may not remove the circumstance or the fear, but he will be with you through it.

When you are afraid, remember to trust God. Trust him because of who he is. It takes a lot more than courage to get back in the water if you have been bitten by a shark. For Bethany, her strength comes from her trust in God. There may be all kinds of bad things swimming around in your life. It may seem like danger and disaster are circling all around you, ready to attack. Trust God to be with you. God is stronger than anyone or anything that might hurt you. You don't have to live in fear.

God is bigger than any problem or person who might threaten you or the great life God has planned for you. You can live life without fear by putting your trust in God. Be sure to check out our Veteran's day photos, upcoming events and more at http://selahchurch.com .

"Peace be over you and make you Fearless just knowing He is with you all the way."
