Welcome to the InTouch Podcast with Charles Stanley for Wednesday, February 22.

How many things are you afraid of?

Today's podcast helps you see that God intends for believers to be anxious for nothing.

What I want us to do is I want us to look at a key passage of Scripture which to me is

the anchor.

When you're facing fear, here's the anchor.

This is a passage that you can go back to that is so awesomely reassuring and it gets

us to the basic and the foundation of why a child of God should not live in fear.

I want you to turn to the 41st chapter of Isaiah and let's read beginning in this 8th verse.

And while he's speaking to the nation of Israel and speaking about them, the promise is

absolutely just as applicable to us and even more so in some ways because when you were

saved, the Holy Spirit came to live inside of us.

And so notice what he says beginning in this 8th verse.

He said, but you, Israel, my servant, Jacob whom I've chosen, descendent of Abraham, my

friend, you whom I've taken from the ends of the earth and call from this remote as parts

and said to you, you are my servant.

I've chosen you and not rejected you. Do not fear for I'm with you.

Do not anxiously look about you for I am your God.

I will strengthen you. Surely I will help you.

Surely I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Behold all those who are anchored at you will be shamed in dishonored.

Those who contend with you will be as nothing and will perish.
