Israel Assured of God’s Help
“Keep silence before Me, O coastlands, And let the people renew their strength!
Let them come near, then let them speak; Let us come near together for judgment.
“Who raised up one from the east? Who in righteousness called him to His feet?
Who gave the nations before him, And made him rule over kings?
Who gave them as the dust to his sword, As driven stubble to his bow?
Who pursued them, and passed safely By the way that he had not gone with his feet?
Who has performed and done it, Calling the generations from the beginning?
‘I, the Lord, am the first; And with the last I am He.’ ”
The coastlands saw it and feared, The ends of the earth were afraid;
They drew near and came. Everyone helped his neighbor, And said to his brother,
“Be of good courage!”
So the craftsman encouraged the goldsmith;
He who smooths with the hammer inspired him who strikes the anvil,
Saying, “It is ready for the soldering”; Then he fastened it with pegs,
That it might not totter.
“But you, Israel, are My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen,
The descendants of Abraham My friend.
You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth,
And called from its farthest regions, And said to you,
‘You are My servant, I have chosen you and have not cast you away:
Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
“Behold, all those who were incensed against you Shall be ashamed and disgraced;
They shall be as nothing, And those who strive with you shall perish.
You shall seek them and not find them— Those who contended with you.
Those who war against you Shall be as nothing, As a nonexistent thing.
For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand,
Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.” Isaiah 41:1-13 (New King James Version)
Last Sunday’s edition of the LightWing Messages provided a lecture by Rev. Charles Finney, who compared religion based upon the Ten Commandments to religion based upon the Gospel from Paul’s words in Romans. FInney made an insightful and essential distinction between those who obey the Ten Commandments from obedience out of fear as compared with those who obey out of love. This is an essential distinction today as there are those who claim some faith in the words of the Old or New Testament, or both, and can often be distinguished through such a simplistic comparison. It is simplistic, yet even Finney would seem to agree that there are variations in how such a dichotomy of human behavior based upon faith would be enacted.
I would submit that it is not a question of whether a Jew or a Christian can offer more acceptable “works” to God. It is more a matter of doing things, or essentially living life for God, or for oneself that is the clearest distinction. And this gets to the heart of today’s two messages that both deal with outside interference with doing “good works.” People of faith do not do “good works” in a vacuum, or protected by some bubble. The world around us exists, and currently it is quite a toxic climate within the world for those trying to exercise their faith. It is quite apparent that the “true colors” of one’s character show up when adversity confronts us. And, Finney spelled out that it is what source of motives a person looks to which determines how a person behaves. If a person is motivated by fear to forget their faith, and turn and run, it defines the individual and the genuine level of faith they are able to muster in the face of challenge or persecution.
I further submit that it is primarily love that generates the courage to act upon convictions of faith in times of trials or tribulation. This is the true test of faith. And, what was Jesus concerned with when he proclaimed he would return? He was concerned whether he would find faith when the time of the second advent commenced.
Last week, we mentioned it being the time of the proverbial “Last Days.” There are way too many signs of the times to go into in this edition, but the signs have unveiled the season. As had been mentioned in that Founder’s Message, “many are not quite sure of where to go, or what to do in such a time as this. Yet, it is crucial that people not just awaken and become aware; it is crucial that people begin to act in defense of their relationship with God, their families, their country, and the very principles of freedom upon which the nation was founded.” But, it is also a time of fear: fear of rampant disease or death, fear of the government agents, fear of reprisal or retaliation from those who are aligned with the adversary, fear of what is in the shadows, fear of evil, and even fear of being afraid. Truly, a toxic climate such as what we live in can suffocate
the people who are attempting to live a life of faith.
Yet, obedience to the Law in such a time as this only gets people of faith so far. Genuine love of
God needs to be at the core of one’s faith in order to consistently practice one’s faith in such a time. So, it gets back to the previous dichotomy again. It is truly whether one has a genuine love relationship with God that determines the value of one’s life of faith, and one can be much more aligned with serving one’s own self-interests than being aligned with God. Selfishness can kill a desire to do “good works.” or to resist evil when temptations challenge those who profess any faith. Courage comes to people in different ways, however, and there are different levels and types of courage. Our first message points out this reality.
Ralph Waldo Emerson offers our first message. He started out wanting to become a minister and becme a Unitarian minister after he graduated from Harvard Divinity School. Yet, after his young wife died, he had a “change of heart” and went a different direction. He developed the “Transcendentalist” theory and theology in his time. His message is from a volume of his prolific works entitled, “Society and Solitude” written in 1870. It is from a chapter titled, “Courage.” In it he provides an extensive presentation on his views of courage based upon his reading and his knowledge of the world in which he lived. The chapter was quite long (nearly 6,000 words), so this LightWing version has been edited substantially down to less than 2600 words for this edition due to our restrictions; however, we provide a link to the full text for those true readers in our midst.
Emerson mainly dwells on focusing one’s mind and an intellectual grasp of courage, but does
touch on love. A central point one can glean from Emerson is his admission: “Sacred courage
indicates that a man loves an idea better than all things in the world…”
The second message today is from Dr. Robert Owens titled: “Fear is the Opposite of Faith,” which is a bit cliche in our day, but his message is unique. The entry is an excerpt from his book entitled Love that he wrote in 2021. His message is quite simple as well in directing readers to the focus upon God and Jesus as the essence of one’s faith, which vaporizes fear.
We hope our readers enjoy this edition of the LightWing Messages today as well as the limited aggregated messages. Read, absorb and share, and practice what is within you.

These words are being freely offered to you and are intended to shine light unto our paths, as it was written: “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” Proverbs 29:18 - KJV
May God’s blessings flow into and through all of our readers and all of your loved ones today
and may God bless America (she certainly could use His Divine Intervention!)
May we humble ourselves by diminishing our EGO (Easing God Out), seek His face (continually to build a relationship with Him), repent, and make a U-turn from wickedness. May we especially be courageous in breaking the chains of our own selfishness and in constantly resisting fear and challenges from the adversary.
Courage
By Ralph Waldo Emerson - 1870 -
Emerson was a 19th-century American essayist, a prolific writer, lecturer, and poet considered one of the leading figures of the Transcendentalist movement.
I OBSERVE that there are three qualities which conspicuously attract the wonder and reverence of mankind :
1. Disinterestedness, as shown in indifference to the ordinary bribes and influences of conduct, – a purpose so sincere and generous that it cannot be tempted aside by any prospects of wealth or other private advantage. Self-love is, in almost all men, such an over-weight, that they are incredulous of a man’s habitual preference of the general good to his own; but when they see it proved by sacrifices of ease, wealth, rank, and of life itself, there is no limit to their admiration. This has made the power of the saints of the East and West, who have led the religion of great nations. Self-sacrifice is the real miracle out of which all the reported miracles grew. This makes the renown of the heroes of Greece and Rome, – of Socrates, Aristides and Phocion ; of Quintus Curtius, Cato and Regulus ; of Hatem Tai’s hospitality; of Chatham, whose scornful magnanimity gave him immense popularity; of Washington, giving his service to the public without salary or reward.’
2. Practical power. Men admire the man who can organize their wishes and thoughts in stone and wood and steel and brass, – the man who can build the boat, who has the impiety to make the rivers run the way he wants them; who can lead his telegraph through the ocean from shore to shore; who, sitting in his closet, can lay out the plans of a campaign, sea-war and land-war, such that the best generals and admirals, when all is done, see that they must thank him for success; the power of better combination and foresight, however exhibited, whether it only plays a game of chess, or whether, more loftily, a cunning mathematician, penetrating the cubic weights of stars, predicts the planet which eyes had never seen; or whether, exploring the chemical elements whereof we and the world are made, and seeing their secret, Franklin draws off the lightning in his hand; suggesting that one day a wiser geology shall make the earthquake harmless and the volcano an agricultural resource. Or here is one who, seeing the wishes of men, knows how to come at their end ; whispers to this friend, argues down that adversary, moulds society to his purpose, and looks at all men as wax for his hands; takes command of them as the wind does of clouds, as the mother does of the child, or the man that knows more does of the man that knows less, and leads them in glad surprise to the very point where they would be : this man is followed with acclamation.
3. The third excellence is courage, the perfect will, which no terrors can shake, which is attracted by frowns or threats or hostile armies, nay, needs these to awake and fan its reserved energies into a pure flame, and is never quite itself until the hazard is extreme ; then it is serene and fertile, and all its powers play well.’ There is a Hercules, an Achilles, a Rustem, an Arthur or a Cid in the mythology of every nation ; and in authentic history, a Leonidas, a Scipio, a Caesar, a Richard Coeur de Lion, a Cromwell, a Nelson, a Great Conde, a Bertrand du Guesclin, a Doge Dandolo, a Napoleon, a Massaena, and Ney.
‘Tis said courage is common, but the immense esteem in which it is held proves it to be rare. Animal resistance, the instinct of the male animal when cornered, is no doubt common; but the pure article, courage with eyes, courage with conduct, self-possession at the cannon’s mouth, cheerfulness in lonely adherence to the right, is the endowment of elevated characters. I need not show how much it is esteemed, for the people give it the first rank. They forgive everything to it. What an ado we make through two thousand years about Thermopylae and Salamis!
What a memory of Poitiers and Crecy, and Bunker Hill, and Washington’s endurance! And
any man who puts his life in peril in a cause which is esteemed becomes the darling of all men. The very nursery-books, the ballads which delight boys, the romances which delight men, the favorite topics of eloquence, the thunderous emphasis which orators give to every martial defiance and passage of arms, and which the people greet, may testify. How short a time since this whole nation rose every morning to read or to hear the traits of courage of its sons and brothers in the field, and was never weary of the theme! We have had examples of men who, for showing effective courage on a single occasion, have become a favorite spectacle to nations, and must be brought in chariots to every mass meeting…
A large majority of men being bred in families and beginning early to be occupied day by day with some routine or safe industry, never come to the rough experiences that make the Indian, the soldier or the frontiersman self-subsistent and fearless. Hence the high price of courage indicates the general timidity. ”Mankind,” said Franklin, ”are dastardly when they meet with opposition.”
…The Norse Sagas relate that when Bishop Magne reproved King Sigurd for his wicked divorce, the priest who attended the bishop, expecting every moment when the savage king would burst with rage and slay his superior, said that he ”saw the sky no bigger than a calf-skin.” And I remember when a pair of Irish girls who had been run away within a wagon by a skittish horse, said that when he began to rear, they were so frightened that they could not see the horse. Cowardice shuts the eyes till the sky is not larger than a calf-skin; shuts the eyes so that we cannot see the horse that is running away with us; worse, shuts the eyes of the mind and chills the heart. Fear is cruel and mean…
The political reigns of terror have been reigns of madness and malignity, a total perversion of opinion; society is upside down, and its best men are thought too bad to live. Then the protection which a house, a family, neighbor-hood and property, even the first accumulation of savings gives, go in all times to generate this taint of the respectable classes. Those political parties which gather in the well-disposed portion of the community, – how infirm and ignoble! what white lips they have! always on the defensive, as if the lead were entrusted to the journals, often written in great part by women and boys, who, without strength, wish to keep up the appearance of strength. They can do the hurras, the placarding, the flags, – and the voting, if it is a fair day; but the aggressive attitude of men who will have right done, will no longer be bothered with burglars and ruffians in the streets, counterfeiters in public offices, and thieves on the bench; that part, the part of the leader and soul of the vigilance committee, must be taken by stout and sincere men who are really angry and determined…
The general must stimulate the mind of his soldiers to the perception that they are men, and the enemy is no more. Knowledge, yes; for the danger of dangers is illusion. The eye is easily daunted; and the drums, flags, shining helmets, beard and moustache of the soldier have conquered you long before his sword or bayonet reaches you…
It is plain that there is no separate essence called courage, no cup or cell in the brain, no vessel in the heart containing drops or atoms that make or give this virtue ; but it is the right or healthy state of every man, when he is free to do that which is constitutional to him to do. It is directness, – the instant performing of that which he ought…
Each has his own courage, as his own talent ; but the courage of the tiger is one, and of the horse another. The dog that scorns to fight, will fight for his master. The llama that will carry a load if you caress him, will refuse food and die if he is scourged. The fury of onset is one, and of calm endurance another. There is a courage of the cabinet as well as a courage of the field; a courage of manners in private assemblies, and another in public assemblies; a courage which enables one man to speak masterly to a hostile company, whilst another man who can easily face a cannon’s mouth dares not open his own…
It gives the cutting edge to every profession. The judge puts his mind to the tangle of contradictions in the case, squarely accosts the question, and by not being afraid of it, by dealing with it as business which must be disposed of, he sees presently that common arithmetic and common methods apply to this affair. Perseverance strips it of all peculiarity, and ranges it on the same ground as other business…
Morphy played a daring game in chess: the daring was only an illusion of the spectator, for the player sees his move to be well fortified and safe. You may see the same dealing in criticism; a new book astonishes for a few days, takes itself out of common jurisdiction, and nobody knows what to say of it; but, the scholar is not deceived. The old principles which books exist to express are more beautiful than any book; and out of love of the reality, he is an expert judge how far the book has approached it and where it has come short. In all applications it is the same power, – the habit of reference to one’s own mind, as the home of all truth and counsel, and which can easily dispose of any book because it can very well do without all books…
See too what good contagion belongs to it. Everywhere it finds its own with magnetic affinity. Courage of the soldier awakes the courage of the woman. Florence Nightingale brings light and the blessing of her shadow. Heroic women offer themselves as nurses of the brave veteran. The troop of Virginian infantry that had marched to guard the prison of John Brown asked leave to pay their respects to the prisoner. Poetry and eloquence catch the hint, and soar to a pitch unknown before. Everything feels the new breath except the old doting nigh-dead politicians, whose heart the trumpet of resurrection could not wake.
There is a persuasion in the soul of man that he is here for cause, that he was put down in this
place by the Creator to do the work for which he inspires him, that thus he is an overmatch for all antagonists that could combine against him. The pious Mrs. Hutchinson says of some passages in the defence of Nottingham against the Cavaliers, “It was a great instruction that the best and high-est courages are beams of the Almighty.” And whenever the religious sentiment is adequately affirmed, it must be with dazzling courage. As long as it is cowardly insinuated, as with the wish to succor some partial and temporary interest, or to make it affirm some pragmatic tenet which our parish church receives to-day, it is not imparted, and cannot inspire or create.
For it is always new, leads and surprises, and practice never comes up with it. There are ever appearing in the world men who, almost as soon as they are born, take a bee-line to the rack
of the inquisitor, the axe of the tyrant, like Giordano Bruno, Vanini, Huss, Paul, Jesus and Socrates…
Sacred courage indicates that a man loves an idea better than all things in the world; that he is aiming neither at pelf nor comfort, but will venture all to put in act the invisible thought in his mind. He is every-where a liberator, but of a freedom that is ideal; not seeking to have land or money or conveniences, but to have no other limitation than that which his own constitution imposes. He is free to speak truth; he is not free to lie. He wishes to break every yoke all over the world which hinders his brother from acting after his thought.
There are degrees of courage, and each step upward makes us acquainted with a higher virtue. Let us say then frankly that the education of the will is the object of our existence. Poverty, the prison, the rack, the fire, the hatred and execrations of our fellow men, appear trials beyond the endurance of common humanity; but to the hero whose intellect is aggrandized by the soul, and so measures these penalties against the good which his thought surveys, these terrors vanish as darkness at sunrise.
We have little right in piping times of peace to pronounce on these rare heights of character; but there is no assurance of security. In the most private life, difficult duty is never far off. Therefore we must think with courage. Scholars and thinkers are prone to an effeminate habit, and shrink if a coarser shout comes up from the street, or a brutal act is recorded in the journals. The Medical College piles up in its museum its grim monsters of morbid anatomy, and there are melancholy skeptics with a taste for carrion who batten on the hideous facts in history, – persecutions, inquisitions, St. Bartholomew massacres, devilish lives, Nero, Caesar Borgia, Marat, Lopez; men in whom every ray of humanity was extinguished, parricides, matricides and whatever moral monsters.
These are not cheerful facts, but they do not disturb a healthy mind; they require of us a patience as robust as the energy that attacks us, and an unresting exploration of final causes. Wolf, snake and crocodile are not inharmonious in Nature, but are made useful as checks, scavengers and pioneers; and we must have a scope as large as Nature’s to deal with beast-like men, detect what scullion function is assigned them, and foresee in the secular melioration of the planet how these will become unnecessary and will die out.
He has not learned the lesson of life who does not every day surmount a fear. I do not wish to
put myself or any man into a theatrical position, or urge him to ape the courage of his comrade. Have the courage not to adopt another’s courage. There is scope and cause and resistance enough for us in our proper work and circumstance. And there is no creed of an honest man, be he Christian, Turk or Gentoo, which does not equally preach it. If you have no faith in beneficent power above you, but see only an adamantine fate coiling its folds about Nature and man, then reflect that the best use of fate is to teach us courage, if only because baseness cannot change the appointed event.
If you accept your thoughts as inspirations from the Supreme Intelligence, obey them when they prescribe difficult duties, because they come only so long as they are used; or, if your skepticism reaches to the last verge, and you have no confidence in any foreign mind, then be brave, because there is one good opinion which must always be of consequence to you, namely, your own.

Fear is the Opposite of Faith
By Dr. Robert Owens July 17, 2023 (submission date)
[This is an excerpt from the book Love by Dr. Owens]
As we wandered through the wilderness of the late great pandemic it was a perfect opportunity to realize that God is in control. We may think we’re the masters of the universe but in fact we aren’t. God is.
Humanity has built a planet wide civilization. Our machines transform deserts, harness the wind, and connect everyone in an ever-growing web of communication and information. Our planes fill the skies. Our ships fill the seas. We’ve walked on the moon, sent robot ships to Mars and the other planets, flung satellites out of the solar system, touched the bottom of the Mariana Trench, and built permanent habitations in Antarctica. Humanity stands proudly at the apex of life on earth as we cower before an unseen enemy and wage a war against a virus. Our leaders tell us we’ll win this war while in the back of everyone’s mind dwells the thought, “Someday we may face another virus or germ that will wipe us out.”
We live on a rock hurtling through space. Even a brief study of geology, paleontology, and astronomy makes it abundantly clear we live in a cosmic pinball machine. Over and over large
asteroids have smashed into the earth often bringing an end to most life and signaling the beginning of a new epoch in the planet’s 4.5-billion-year history. It isn’t a question of if. It is a question of when.
And if species eliminating pandemics and globe shattering collisions aren’t enough, there are super volcanoes lurking around the planet waiting like alarm clocks to explode and wake us from our blissful dream of ruling creation.
When we ponder our current situation, it might not be too far off to say, “This may not be the end of the world, but you can see it from here.”
With that thought in mind we might want to meditate on The Living Bible’s rendition of Proverbs 19:1, “Man proposes, But God disposes.”
The pandemic raged all around us. The government had us isolated, locked down, watching infection charts and mortality rates wondering what happens next. As we fixated on survival, wishing we’d been crazy enough to be a prepper before being a prepper was cool, off in the distance our mind’s eye tried to envision the New Normal the media echo-chamber told us was on the other side. Then we learned the new normal was what we used to call abnormal.
With the world rushing at us with ever increasing speed the easiest thing to do is to allow fear a toehold in our lives. Fear of catching a virus. Fear of our loved ones catching a virus. Fear of losing our jobs. Fear of watching our carefully constructed lives wither on the vine. Fear of not having enough money, food, hand sanitizer, or toilet paper to make it through the blast. Fear, fear, fear seems to be all the “If it bleeds it leads” news media offer wall-to-wall 24/7.
A wise woman told me that Fear is the captain of legions of other foul spirits such as greed and selfishness. Look at how many have responded to these ever multiplying crises, and you see those in bondage to Fear and its minions cleaning off shelves, ignoring shelter-in-place orders, and partying like there’s no tomorrow.
Let me show you a better way. Fear is the opposite of faith. Choose faith and live.
We know that most of the things we worry about never happen. Why waste our time worrying when we can instead walk in faith and have peace? God tells us not to worry more times than He tells us not to steal and we all know what stealing is. There’s a formula for peace. It’s like a recipe. We can follow it and bake it into our lives. “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the
peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through
Christ Jesus.”
I’m a Christian. I believe Jesus is the divine incarnation who came to pay the penalty for sin. He
lived a perfect life, died a substitutionary death, rose from the dead conquering sin and death for all humanity. I believe He ascended into heaven, is seated at the right hand of our Father the Creator, and that He’s coming again to judge the living and the dead. I believe all that as
strongly as I believe I’m typing these words right now. This is the foundation of my reality. This is my faith. Faith banishes fear.
If you’re tired of living your life in fear join me in a walk of faith. To begin a new life in Christ is easy because the sacrifice of Christ has paid the price of admission. All you need to do is confess Jesus as the leader of your life and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved. That’s it. That’s all there is to it.
I’m not saying once we confess and believe we’ll skip down the primrose path with never a problem, a challenge, or a defeat until we dance our way through the Pearly Gates. What I’m saying is once we confess and believe we can rest assured no matter what happens we’re in God’s hand and no one and nothing can ever snatch us out. The viruses, asteroids, and volcanoes might come but our future is secure in the everlasting promises of God.
After we confess and believe we’re still facing all the same challenges we faced before, but now we have faith instead of fear. Now we know that when we pray God hears our prayers. In the natural world we look to the government to save us. But the government is of the world and the world is passing away. All things will pass. Only those things done in Christ will last. Reject the transitory dying things of the world and embrace the life that’s in the Spirit of Christ.
Embrace the faith. Defeat the fear. And remember the recipe, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
It may feel like prayer is all we have. Luckily prayer is all we need. Faith is the answer. Prayer is the key. Why worry when you can pray?
