To be afraid is to be human. The command, “Don’t be afraid,” is the most frequent command in the Bible for a reason. Where is God in the midst of our fear? As we look forward to the celebration of God coming to earth as a baby this season, remember that God is always doing something in the midst of our storms. Whatever fear is stealing from you, God wants to replace it with a peace that passes all human understanding.
