Everyone has been afraid. Some last week, some last night, some already today. We can try to distracts ourselves from, or to ignore, or run and hide from our fears. But our fears don’t distract themselves from, or ignore, or run and hide from us. Sooner or later we cry out for help.

In our fear we can only deal with what we know, not with what we don’t. What you can know right now in your fear is that (1) God knows your thoughts, he sees your affliction (that you fear) and your oppression (what you fear) and (2) you can know God’s thoughts, you can set your mind on the things that are above, where Christ is, where there is no fear.

But the most astonishing thing of all you should know is that God came down.
