We live in a culture ruled by fear. Everyone – especially those in charge – want us to be afraid because our fear gives them control. When is fear healthy? When does it become an idol? God’s promises to Israel offer us hope in a fearful world. We can trust the God who promises to be with us and not let fear order our steps.

We live in turbulent times – from endless war to a slowly recovering economy to a looming educational crisis and ineffective government. While we take care of our lives one day at a time, we can’t help but sense a storm gathering on the horizon. In this, we are much like the Jewish people who lived at the time of the prophets. Surrounded by forces outside their control, God called them to remain faithful in their daily life, to trust him to handle the big stuff. God spoke through prophets. Because their books are so short, we call them the Minor Prophets. But while their writings are short, their message has major implications for our lives today.
