TODAY'S BIBLE VERSE
Memorize this Verse:
6. T L I O M S I W N F W C M D U M
Margin, as in Hebrew,” for me.” The Lord is with me. He is my helper. He defends my cause.
“I will not fear”: I have nothing to be afraid of. God is more mighty than any or all of my foes, and he can deliver me from them all (compare Psalms 56:4; 56:9; 56:11).
“What can man do unto me?” Any person; all people. They can do no more than God permits. They cannot destroy me when he means to save me. They cannot defeat his gracious designs toward me. I am safe if God is my Friend (compare notes at Romans 8:31).
(Hebrews 13:6 quotes this verse; compare Psalm 56:4, 11).
Notice the act of the psalmist’s will, in stating, I will not fear. This is very similar to the statement, “let not your heart be troubled”. In many instances throughout the Bible, we are told to fear not. It is within our ability to fear, but it is not in our best interest. Those who put their trust in the LORD, should not fear. Fear, in a case like that, would be to say that we cannot trust God. We must determine in our heart to trust God and not to fear. If God be for us, who can be against us? Man is no match for God. If God is fighting our battles for us, man can do us no harm. There is no reason to fear. Faith is the opposite of fear. Have faith!
