God himself has said: I will not fail you or desert you, and so we can say with confidence: With the Lord to help me, I fear nothing: what can man do to me?
Heb.13:5,6
The book of Hebrews closes urging us to be intentional in living the Christian life. The love of God overpowers the fear of man.
Today's Gospel shows Herod succumbing to the fear of man. To save face he has John the Baptist executed. This evil haunts him as he later believes Jesus is John the Baptist risen from the dead.
There is a peace in knowing that Jesus himself is beside me, that the Holy Spirit helping me. I let fear in when I forget this.
Thank you Lord for your comfort and strength helping through today.
