“Be
not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it
cometh. For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from
being taken.” Proverbs 3:25-26, KJV.
I
was thinking of what was going on in the East Coast of U.S. since a friend
shared the alarming news what people were going through. Snow piled up,
electricity went off and more … Some southern part of California have not
received any rain since Christmas of 2015. My niece shared her concern so I mentioned
that I would pray for rain to come and would share this with friends to join in
prayers.
Then
I saw this card verse for the day, God spoke to my heart and I used NLT to
understand this better. “You need not be afraid of disaster or the destruction
that comes upon the wicked, for the LORD is your security. He will keep your
foot from being caught in a trap.” Prov. 3:25-26, NLT.
I
quoted to myself: For the Lord shall be my confidence … I will put my feeling
of trust in the Lord … For the Lord is my security … I will put my mind to rest
in Him … I will trust the Lord with all my heart … I remember the chorus that
Tony and I often sang, “Cast not away your confidence,” saith the Lord thy God.
Song: I Believe
the Answer’s on the Way
(From
Inspiring Choruses)
I
believe the answer’s on the way;
I
believe the Lord has heard me pray;
“Cast
not away your confidence,”
Saith
the Lord our God.
Now
by faith in Him alone I stand,
Firmly
held by His almighty hand;
Fully
trusting in His promise,
Praise the Lord!
Prayer:
Thank You, Lord for continue to speak to our hearts, not to be afraid of sudden
fear when we hear disaster news. Thank You, Lord that You remind us not to
worry about the desolation of the wicked, but to keep praying for them to turn
to You in time of trouble. I remember a verse from *Hebrew 10:35 “Cast not away
therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward.” Thank You,
Lord. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen!
**Hebrews
10:35-36, NLT “Do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord, no matter
what happens. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is
what you need now, so you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive
all that He has promised.”
