The Lord Is on My Side. I Will Not Be Afraid

🌅 Good morning

This morning’s Word is… 📖

Psalm 118:6

“The Lord is on my side; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”

What is fear…? 🤔❓️
…
Fear is a hidden enemy.
It can damage the course of life for people of every age and race. It poisons our thinking,
steals the peace of our hearts, and crushes our enthusiasm for living.

…
Fear makes us irritated and anxious. It frightens us, disturbs us, and makes us timid.

…
We fear conflict, change, failure, and stress.
Some people fear illness and suffering.
Some fear being hurt by someone they love.
Some fear other people and their opinions.
Some fear the dark, become isolated and alone… and fall into depression.

…
Fear stands against love.

I will not be afraid ❗️
Why?
Because the Lord is with me.

…
We do not need to fear the future—an uncertain tomorrow, or those who may oppose us.

…
1 John 4:18 says:

“There is no fear in love. Perfect love drives out fear.”

…
Is your love for God being made complete? ❗️

Shalom 😃
