Read: Psalm 121

Happy are the people whose
God is the Lord.
-Psalm 144:15

When W.B. Davidson was a young boy, he walked with his
father 3 miles from his rural home to his grandmother’s
house. While they were visiting, the sun set. Davidson
writes, “Between our home and grandmother’s house was a
swamp. That night the croaking of the frogs, the
chirping of the crickets, and the shadows of the trees
frightened me. I asked my father if there was any
danger of something catching us, but he assured me that
there was nothing to dread. And so, taking me by the
hand, he said, `I will not allow anything to harm you.’
Immediately my fears passed away and I was ready to face
the world.”

Someone has said that the three keys to real peace
are: fret not, faint not, fear not.

1. Fret not – because God loves you (1 Jn. 4:16).

2. Faint not – because God holds you (Ps. 139:10).

3. Fear not – because God keep you (Ps. 121:5).

As we rest in the love of Christ and recognize that
God holds our hand, we too shall be at peace and
unafraid. The “three keys to real peace” – fret not,
faint not, fear not – can open our prison of worry and
discouragement. Let’s step out into the full joy and
liberty of the children of God!
-Henry G. Bosch

When the way is dim, and I cannot see
Through the mist of His wise design,
How my glad heart yearns and my faith returns
By the touch of His hand on mine. -Pounds

THE PERFECT ANTIDOTE FOR FEAR
IS TRUST IN GOD.
