Certainty

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear..." Psalm 46:1-2

I was struck by the certainty of the last phrase by the psalmist, "Therefore we will not fear..." Duh. Of course...of course we will not fear. It's quite certain. Fear simply has no place in our lives because of the reality of God's protection of us. While the psalm was written thousands of years ago, the psalmist includes us..."we will not fear." God's people for all time are people who share fearless lives governed by faith in God's protection and strength.

And the we means also that God's people as a community are fearless. Together, a fearless faith defines the entire community as well as individuals therein.

What are we scared about as a community?
What are we scared about in our personal lives?

Run to God and trust in him.
