What you feel is real, but it may not be reality.

Mark Estepp - 10/4/2026

Genesis 42:36

36 Their father Jacob said to them, “You have deprived me of my children. Joseph is no more and Simeon is no more, and now you want to take Benjamin. Everything is against me!”

What you feel is real, but it may not be reality.  

When you are ruled by fear and deception, it is repeated and replicated.  

Genesis 50:19-21

19 But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? 20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. 21 So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.” And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them.

Psalm 56:3

When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
