Do Not be afraid...God is with you...
Ezra 3:3 GWT - "So they rebuilt the altar on its original site, though they were afraid of the people in the neighboring regions. They sacrificed burnt offerings on it to the Lord every morning and evening."
Even though the people were afraid of the the countries around them, Jeshua and the priest rebuilt the altar of the Lord just as Moses had instructed it to be built. They knew that they had a strong God. They wanted to pay honor to God with their burnt offerings both night and day.
We too may be afraid of the people around us. What will they say if they see me being Christian? What will they do when they see I love Jesus and God? We should not be afraid of the "countries" around us. We have a strong God who watches over us...His faithful servants. You never know whose life might be changed because we trust and showed our true self...our Christian selves in a world of muck and mire?

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made!
Sometimes, we as humanity, try to find our significance in those around us or in our jobs. We keep trying to fill that void of self-worth with the things of earth. When we do this...we will always fall short in finding it. The world in which we live can be cruel and heartless. We look for that love in all the wrong places and go about with this hole in our souls that we are trying to fill.
There is only one way to fill that void...our God is the One who we can rely on to fill it. We are unconditionally loved...accepted...and forgiven by Him. We need to find our significance in God through Christ Jesus. Then and only then can we be made whole...
