Assurance of his love

The Lord is my light and my salvation ; who would i be afraid of ? Psalm 27:1

Many people today live in the bondage of fear. In a recent study, a psychiatrist said that the biggest problem facing his patients was fear. Fear of going crazy, committing suicide, being alone, or fear of heart disease, cancer, disaster, or death. We become a nation of scared people. Over the centuries, in times of trouble, temptation, hardship, mourning and crisis, God has brought courage to the hearts of those who love him. The Bible is filled with assurances of God's help and comfort in all kinds of problems that could cause fear in the human heart. Today, the Christian can come to the Scriptures with the full assurance that God will deliver the person who places his trust and confidence in God. Christians can look to the future with promise, hope and joy, and without fear, encouragement or discouragement.

Prayer for the day

Your assurance of love dominates the fears of my heart, Lord.
