Our Scripture reading today is Psalm 118:6, "The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?"
What a wonderful reminder! Those that are born again Christians have the LORD
standing with and for them. Fear is real and we must be aware of it. However, we do
not need to fear. God is with us. God is for us. Romans 8:31, "What shall we then say
to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?" As followers of Jesus Christ,
we are on the winning side! The burdens that we have today are only for a very brief
time when compared to the eternity we have in Glory.
“He does not say that he should not suffer, but that he would not fear: the favour of God infinitely outweighed the hatred of men, therefore setting the one against the other he felt that he had no reason to be afraid.” (Spurgeon)
