Psalms 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of The Most-High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
The issue of fear is something the human family has had to deal with, ever since our first parents sinned in Eden. Fear is a part of the fabric of life on planet earth and even though we do serve an all-powerful God, the Christian at times experiences fear, some more, some less. The reason why the issue of fear would have to be confronted, is because, if it is left alone, it can then trigger a number of adverse side effects which have the potential to alter our faith, and trust in God.
And in consequence, we could begin to assess situations and draw conclusions, the same way the worldling does. The secular mind does not generally incorporate the miraculous or the supernatural into its thoughts and actions, and the teaching of evolution never makes any allowance for God. Therefore, whenever trouble comes as it certainly would, and when a dangerous situation arises, the natural response is to go into panic mode, and leave the God factor out of the question.
This has happened over and over again in the Bible, and as we approach the final conflict of the ages, in which the forces of good and evil are scheduled to come to a head, the fear factor, and the God factor will come face to face, and depending on a person’s relationship with God either fear, or faith will then be vanquished.
Psalms 91:3 Surely, he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
