Be Not Afraid

My sister Casy sent Spencer this picture by Greg Olsen title "Be Not Afraid". Her purpose in giving it to him was for comfort in the hospital. Today I was blogging and randomly the second verse to the hymn "How Firm a Foundation" came to my mind and I was reminded how lucky I am to have the guidance and peace of His "omnipotent hand."
Fear not, I am with thee. Oh, be not dismayed,
For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid.
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand.
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.

  2. When I went through my divorce and I was in turmoil wondering how to raise 4 kids on my own this verse always popped into my head. It is so strong and reassuring. I love that song and can't really make it all the way through singing it without getting teary. He is watching out for you and your little family Holly!
