Moving from Fear to Purpose

Perspective: a particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view

Job 38 (CEV): ⁸ When the ocean was born, I set its boundaries ⁹ and wrapped it in blankets of thickest fog. ¹⁰ Then I built a wall around it, locked the gates, ¹¹ and said, “your powerful waves stop here! They can go no farther.”

• Perspective Leads To Peace: God’s Word

Isaiah 41:10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Matthew 10: ²⁹ Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your father’s care. ³⁰ And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. ³¹ So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

Psalm 100:3 Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Psalm 23:¹ The Lord is my shepherd, ⁴ Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. A shepherd provides, protects and guides
