Fear Not


The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and rescues them.

Psalm 34:7

As Christians, we are not exempt from difficulties.  It may be bad people who try to destroy our lives or it may be war or it may be some stupid mistake we made that comes back to haunt us.  God wants us to know that He is our protector and that when things seem all but lost, He will send His angels to guard over us.

I am not talking about the delicate, pretty angels we hang on the Christmas tree.  I am talking about big, burly angels, like the ones who appeared to the shepherds to announce Jesus’ birth.  We know they were scary looking because the first words out of their mouths were, “Fear not....”  (Luke 2:10). 

Fear not, God has your back.
