Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.
--Proverbs 29:25
New International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
Fear is such a paralyzing emotion. It robs us vitality, decision-making ability, and strength. Courage helps us step out of fear's paralysis and turn its nervous edge into power.
But this kind of courage comes to us fully only when we know that all that Satan and his allies can really have of us is our bodies. He cannot take our mind, our attitude, our faith, and most of all, he cannot take our relationship with God, given to us through Jesus.
MY PRAYER...
O Savior, my Great Redeemer, thank you for triumphing over all that I fear through Jesus. You have not only given me a hero I trust, but a hope by which I can live victoriously.
Through my Conquering King I thank you. Amen.
