Strength then comes from trusting in God rather than ourselves. The strong, courageous man/woman is not the one who is ‘self-reliant’. The strong, courageous man/woman is God-reliant.

We live in a sinful, fallen world; therefore, we will never escape the effects of mankind’s sinfulness on our lives. But God will be with us, He will strengthen us, if we call on Him, “fear not”.
We may feel afraid and discouraged at times in this life, like the battles are too big to overcome. But we are to stick to God’s facts, and not our feelings.
There is nothing to FEAR when our Father, God, corrects us. But trouble comes when we reject His correction.
…even when God chastises us, He isn’t finished with us. He will “bring us back”: He will restore us!
“We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed;
We are perplexed, but not in despair;
Persecuted, but not forsaken;
Cast down, but not destroyed”
~ 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
FEAR NOT, The LORD is with us
FEAR NOT, The LORD is our God
FEAR NOT, The LORD will strengthen us
FEAR NOT, The LORD will help us
FEAR NOT, The LORD will uphold us with the right hand of HIS righteousness.
FEAR NOT, The LORD will hold our right hand
FEAR NOT, The LORD will help us
FEAR NOT, The LORD will help us
…God’s faithfulness depends on His righteousness, not ours. Therefore, we have hope.
David could encourage his son to trust in God, because David himself had a real relationship with God. He had experienced God for himself… David could go forth confidently, because he knew God personally.
Believers, there is an army of angels protecting us at every instant. Let us, therefore, not walk around in fear.
