The unwelcome feelings of fear can invade our hearts when we least expect them. A.W. Tozer wrote that, “Fear is the painful emotion that arises at the thought that we may be harmed or made to suffer. This fear persists while we are subject to the will of someone who does not desire our well-being. The moment we come under the protection of one of good will, fear is cast out.” That “one of good will,” who is our Protector, is the only true God. We must look to Him, and only Him, to be our Helper and Defender as He has promised to be.

Psalm 55:22

Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you;

He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.

Psalm 27:1

The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear?

The Lord is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread?

Isaiah 41:13 (NLT)

For I hold you by your right hand—I, the Lord your God.

And I say to you, “Don’t be afraid. I am here to help you.”

“If the Lord be with us, we have no cause of fear.” ~ John Newton

The Lord bless you and keep you…
