“The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” Psalm 118:6
When we face times of worry and fear, this and many verses like it can be of great comfort to us. With God on our side, we don’t need to be afraid.
“If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Rom. 8:31)
“Do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.” (Luke 12:4)
The worst that man can do to us is to kill us, but that only sets us free to be with the Lord. Anything they might do to us in this body (attacking us verbally or physically) is only temporary. When we gain an eternal perspective on this, we are able to let go of the fear.
God knows the end from the beginning. He already knows what has happened and will happen in our lives. And because He knows – and more so, because He is in control – we don’t have to be afraid. We can have peace.
