Matthew 10: 28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
Jesus is talking about getting into heaven. He says that it isn't easy. You must love God above everything else. The disciples will suffer at the hands of men, but they will get the eternal reward.
It's hard not to be afraid right now. We have elected a President who will not be like any other we have ever had. He is opposed to everything I stand for politically. But the Scripture reminds me that I should be more concerned with my relationship with God. I should stand in the place where He would want to find me.
Prayer: Lord, I want to be right with You. I believe that You are our only hope, and I know that Your plan for me and for this country is good. Help me to see the ways that I can best serve Your plans.
Amen
