A father and his four-year-old son were preparing to go to bed. The young boy was afraid of the dark, and the father wasn't sure how to help him. When he turned out the light, the child caught a glimpse of the moon outside the window. “Dad,” he asked, “is the moon God’s light?”
“Yes,” said his father.
The next question was, “Will God put out His light and go to sleep?”
The father replied, “No, son, God never goes to sleep.”
Then out of the simplicity of a child’s faith, the boy replied, “Well, as long as God is awake, there is no sense both of us staying awake.”
Isn't that the truth?! God does not tell as that frightening things don't exist or happen. On our own, we probably should be afraid. What God does tell us is that we needn't fear because He is with us and His Spirit is in us.
Fear not, for I am with you. ~ Isaiah 41:10
God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
~ 2 Timothy 1:7
