Proverbs 3:25

“Do not be afraid of sudden terror or of the ruin of the wicked, when it comes, for the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught.”

                                                         ~Proverbs 3:25 (ESV)

COMMENT:

I have recently been reading through the book of Proverbs these past few weeks and when I came across this verse in the third chapter, it really stuck out to me how applicable this verse is to the current situation in America. Wickedness and corruption is running ramped in the government and the presidential election. Anger, hatred, and malice have seized the people of our country as they riot, destroy and burn. To most of us, it probably seems like all hope has been lost. Everything seems so dark and unclear. How can there be hope for a world that has gone so far downhill?

But let me offer you some encouragement. There still is hope! It is not all lost! The Bible tells us in so many places that we must not be afraid. There is nothing that could happen in this world that is not under God’s control. He is our confidence! He will not let our feet stumble in hard places!

Don’t let fear trap you under it’s evil spell. With God as our confidence, who can cause us to stumble? Who can cause us to be afraid?

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
~Joshua 1:9 (ESV)
