FEAR NOT, BECAUSE GOD IS BY OUR SIDE
I called on the Lord in distress; the Lord answered me and set me in a broad place. The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? – Psalm 118:5-6
We all go through times in life, similar to what King David presented in the above verses. Whenever we choose to do the right thing and call on the Lord in faith, He always sees us through. David was a man after God’s heart and he learned to fulfill God’s will. Even if David was not perfect in his obedience to God at all times, he always repented and sincerely asked God to forgive him, when he fell into sin.
If we truly know that our hearts are clean, having repented of our sins, we can be sure that God is on our side and there is nothing we should be afraid of. There is nothing that man can do to us, to rob us of our salvation, as long as we want to belong to God. Even if our physical bodies are killed, it is a win-win situation for us, because we will get to be with our Lord in a split of a second!
SUGGESTED PRAYER: Heavenly Father, thank You for being on my side and for always helping me out when I call on Your Name. Please help me to fear only You and keep my heart pure. Dear Lord, please help me to quickly repent when I sin and live right so that there will never be any sin between me and my Lord, that would give the enemy the right to hurt me. Thank You Jesus, that You are for me and not against me. You want me to never fear people or the evil one and You always provide a way of escape for me, no matter how bad the situation looks like. Praises and glory to Your holy Name, dear Lord. Amen
