Day 137 – Fear is Far from You

⁷He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is firmly fixed, trusting (leaning on and being confident) in the Lord. ⁸His heart is established and steady, he will not be afraid while he waits to see his desire established upon his adversaries.

Psalm 112:7-8 (AMP)

Psalms 112 has been describing the man that walks uprightly, deals with justice, lends to people, and walks in the ways that are pleasing to the Lord. The Bible says in verse 7 that such one ‘shall not be afraid of evil tidings’ and that ‘[your] heart is firmly fixed, trusting in the Lord.’ Meaning that fear will be far from you.

Often times fear is able to grip our hearts when our ways are not pleasing to God. One of the blessing upon the righteous is the deliverance from fear. As you face your day today walk before the Lord in righteousness, and be confident not to entertain any fear whatsoever.  Your heart will not be afraid, you will not be moved; because you are certain that God is on your side. Face the day trusting in the Lord, you will experience his divine covering. Verse 8 says, ‘His heart is established and steady, he will not be afraid’. While you wait to see the manifestation of the grace of God over your life and of victory over your adversaries, fear will be far from you because you know that ‘God is for you’ (Isiah 56:9). What is expected of you is to be on God’s side always. The Lord will fight for you and give you great peace, and it shall be well with you; in Jesus’ name. Amen.
