Light, space, zest—
that’s God!
So, with him on my side I’m fearless,
afraid of no one and nothing.
Fear can be overwhelming. Fear of the unknown. Or, sometimes even worse, fear of the known.
A few days ago, I was reminded of this verse in Psalm, and especially like the rendering of it in The Message. Afraid, it says, of no one and nothing.
I admit that 16 years ago this month, fear was trying to overwhelm me. But with God's gifts of health professionals, family and friends, fear was defeated.
Will I ever fear again? That's a tall order for anyone. But when fear comes near, I'll take comfort from these words, knowing that God is with me and that God defeats fear. For everyone.
