MARCH 2, 2026—Be Of Good Cheer

 

Be Of Good Cheer

MARCH 2, 2026
Daily Reading—Numbers 5-6 /  Mark 7

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Mark 6:50 For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Fear comes in many packages. Someone can frighten you by saying “boo” at just the right moment. A doctor could instill fear with a less-than-appreciated diagnosis. A troubled family member can send shivers down your spine. The loss of a job may cause a person alarm as they consider what is next. Fear may come in many packages, but it is still fear.

    I like what Jesus said to the disciples when they were struck with fear. He said, “Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.” He did not say there is no problem. He said I am here. This is still His promise today. In Hebrews 13:5, He said, “…I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” We can trust Him with any fear. 

   

WHAT WILL YOU DO?:

What fear can He help you with?
Can you hear Him say,
“Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid”?

 

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:
