“So, with HIM on my side I’m fearless, afraid of no one and nothing.” (Psalm 27:1 MSG)
We come into this world fearless--until we experience disappointment and become aware of our limitations--then, some of us become anxious and fearful of every eventuality, while others manage to have a slightly healthier mix of caution and courage.
As we become aware of how much our lives are affected by circumstances and realize how truly powerless we are--fear and trepidation soon follow. Naturally we get anxious when all we have to rely on are our own limited resources and skills.
A deep connection with God is the best antidote to fear. As our awareness of God’s unlimited love, power, and wisdom increases, our fear decreases. We learn to trust in God’s care and strength instead of in our own meager abilities. We realize that He is the beginning and the end, the author and the director, the initiator and the completer.
Lord, with you by my side, I have nothing to fear.
