“He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. His heart is secure, he will have no fear; in the end he will look in triumph on his foes” (Psalm 112:7,8).
What’s greater – my fears or God’s promises?
My fears or His Word?
My fears or my God?
Six days until the sentencing. My daughter. My son in law. My family.
I face my fears. I bring them to the light. The Word tells me to trust in the Lord, to keep my heart steadfast, immovable, firm in belief. The Word tells me to keep my heart secure, safe from the enemy. And so I list my fears. And I list His promises–to see which is greater. I know the answer before my pen touches the paper. My fears are many, but they don’t compare to His many promises!
“My foes are many; they rise against me, but I will hold my ground!
I will not fear the war; I will not fear the storm. My help is on the way; my help is on the way.
Oh, my God; He will not delay- my refuge and strength always.
I will not fear; His promise is true; my God will come through – always – always.
Trouble surrounds me – chaos abounding – my soul will rest in you.
I will not fear the war; I will not fear the storm. My help is on the way; my help is on the way.
I lift my eyes up; my help comes from the Lord.”

Now I ask again,
What’s greater – my fears or God’s promises?
My fears or His Word?
My fears or my God?
The answer is, of course, found in the Word. “My dear child, you are from God. Your fears are not from God. You have overcome your fears because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” (I John 4:4)
Six days until the sentencing. My daughter. My son in law. My family.
And so, I will have no fear of bad news; my heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. My heart is secure, I will have no fear; in the end I will look in triumph on his foes.
Why? Because my God is greater.
