I pray that you and I have courage to deal with what life brings to us and that we stand up for truth, love and justice, my friend and brother-in-Christ SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL.
I thank YOU, LORD God, that YOU are in control of all and yet YOU love each one created in YOUR image. YOU have no fear and yet YOU built fear into each of us. Fear of danger, broken relationship, and death are reasonable fears. I think YOU for the grace YOU bestow on those facing death of self as well as loved ones.
The beginning of wisdom is fear of YOU and it is wise to remember WHO YOU are. I am grateful that YOU condescend to have fellowship with each of us who are YOURs.
YOU are always on time. You give us gifts to meet needs of others as well as ourselves. YOU defeated the power of death on the cross in YOUR atonement.
I pray that YOU give us courage to be truthful, to confess our weakness, and to show vulnerability in love to spouse and family members -especially the young.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Being fearless shows that we trust God. What a way to live in my book. Please enjoy the below concerning this.

Five Reasons to Be Fearless
Devotional by John Piper
“Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” (Luke 12:32)
The reason God wants us not to be afraid concerning money or other things of the world is because that fearlessness — that freedom from anxiety — will magnify five great things about him.
First, not being afraid shows that we treasure God as our Shepherd. “Fear not, little flock.” We are his flock and he is our Shepherd. And if he is our Shepherd, then Psalm 23:1 applies: “The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want” — that is, I shall not lack anything I truly need.
Second, not being afraid shows that we treasure God as our Father. “It is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” We are not only his little flock; we are also his children, and he is our Father. He really cares and really knows what you need and will work for you to be sure that you have what you need.
Third, not being anxious shows that we treasure God as King. “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” He can give us the “kingdom” because he is the King. This adds a tremendous element of power to the one who provides for us. “Shepherd” connotes protection and provision. “Father” connotes love and tenderness and authority and provision and guidance. “King” connotes power and sovereignty and wealth.
Fourth, not being afraid shows how free and generous God is. Notice, he gives the kingdom. “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” He doesn’t sell the kingdom or rent the kingdom or lease the kingdom. He is infinitely wealthy and does not need our payments. So, God is generous and free with his bounty. And this is what we magnify about him when we are not afraid, but trust him with our needs.
Finally, not being afraid — not being anxious — shows that we trust that God really wants to do this. “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” It delights him. He is not begrudging. It makes him glad to give us the kingdom. Not all of us had fathers like this, who were made happy by giving instead of getting. But that sorrow is not the main thing any more, because now you can have such a Father, and Shepherd, and King.
So, the point of this verse is that we should treasure God as our Shepherd and Father and King who is generous and happy to give us the kingdom of God — to give us heaven, to give us eternal life and joy, and everything we need to get there.
If we treasure God in this way, we will be fearless and God will be worshiped.

Good RED Friday morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs and I hope all is well in the Eagle's nest.
Being fearless is not really an option for most of us. What is possible is to take a real look at what is keeping us from doing those things we truly want to do and then finding the courage to do them in spite of our fears. So many of those fears are groundless or self imposed (what will people think? what if it doesn't work) and we can work around them if we cannot let them go. What is it that you want to accomplish and what is keeping you from doing it? If it is fear, what can you do to overcome it?
