From the CANON on this blog:
Solutions
1. God
is omnipotent and therefore can solve any problem. He may choose to use the solutions listed
below, but he often provides in ways you could have never imagined. The poor should cry out to God for help,
rather than depending on Baal.
From today’s scripture reading:
The LORD is my light and my salvation -- so
why should I be afraid? The LORD protects me from danger -- so why should I
tremble?
When evil people come to destroy me, when my
enemies and foes attack me, they will stumble and fall.
Though a mighty army surrounds me, my heart
will know no fear. Even if they attack me, I remain confident.
The one thing I ask of the LORD -- the thing I
seek most -- is to live in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,
delighting in the LORD's perfections and meditating in his Temple.
Psalm
27:1-4 (NLT)
From today’s devotional:
Fear has been a part
of man’s emotional makeup since the fall. When Adam and Eve rebelled against
the Lord, they hid themselves from Him and were afraid (Genesis 3:10).
Things haven’t changed much. Anxiety often affects our thinking and controls
our actions. It can keep us boxed in and unwilling to venture into unknown
territory.
Let truth help you
defeat fear. Remember that God is . . .
Almighty. Through the Savior’s perfect life and His sacrifice
on the cross, our two greatest enemies have been defeated—Satan and death.
Jesus set us free from slavery to sin; the devil has lost control over our
lives. What’s more, we no longer face eternal separation from God. Jesus’
physical death has become the gateway to heaven, where we can live with the
Father forever.
Always with
us. Though He called Abraham to
move away from all that was familiar, the Lord Himself promised to remain
nearby. In Matthew 28:20,
Jesus gives us similar reassurance. Through the indwelling Holy Spirit, we as
believers have God not only near us but also in us. Nothing can ever separate
us from His love—not past mistakes, present circumstances, or difficult people
(Romans
8:38-39).
Actively
involved. God promises His help,
and He always keeps His word. He knows what is happening in our lives and can turn
hardships into a time of spiritual growth and ultimate blessing.
God Himself is the
reason we should not be afraid. Grasp the truth of His power, presence, and
involvement, and use them to disarm the landmine of fear.
