Delivered From Fear

"I sought (inquired of) the Lord and required Him [of necessity and on the authority of His Word], and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears." Psalm 34:4 (Amplified)

       There are many obstacles that confront us from day to day, especially in these very difficult times. Fear is rampant, as people are worried about their homes, their jobs, and how they are going to make it day in and day out. In moments like these hope begins to wane, because the pressures of life continue to mount, and before long you find yourself in a dire situation.

        I've come to find that in the moments where things are most tenuous, God is closest. Suddenly, you begin to get flooded with people who encourage you, and passages in scripture that give you hope. Those things aren't coincidences by any means, they are God's subtle ways of delivering you from all your fears. It's His way of showing you... He's got it all under control. If you find yourself gripped by fear at times. Take hope! For if you pursue Him, He will deliver you from all your fears. It's His promise to us.
