Are you one of those who is constantly walking around in fear, scared to even walk out the door, scared to ride in a car, even scared to eat your next meal? There are so many fears out there, but there has always been many fears out there ever since the days of Moses and King David. As a Christian, however, we have something that the non-Christians don't have...a Protector. David, who had every reason to fear as he was persecuted by King Saul, and then his son Absalom, CHOSE not to fear, but CHOSE put his trust in God. He knew that he was being hunted down, but he had such trust in God to protect him that even though there were people hunting him down, he knew that they would stumble and fall. Although we could come up with every reason in the book to fear something, that is a lie and needs to be recognized as a lie. We have a Protector who will protect you from danger. We have One that will thwart the plans of those that are against us and Who will cause them to stumble and fall and, according to the Jeremiah, fail. When we start fearing something, we need to make a conscious decision and tell fear, "No, God is my Protector and I will not fear!"
Take Away: When you find yourself walking in fear, stand up straight and repeat the words of David, "The Lord is protecting me from danger, so why I am afraid? Even if there are things out there that are against me, those things will fail!"
