We live in a world plagued by fear.
People worry about illness, poverty, family disruption, war, famine, and the future.
For those who place their trust in the Lord, however, it's different. But you know that Christ is my life, and that I shall gain by death. But the earth and all its fullness are the Lord's. But we brought nothing into this world and can carry nothing out. Thus all the terrors of the world are contemptible in my eyes, and I smile at all its good things.
