Fore! – Dr. David Jeremiah

Do not be afraid of sudden terror ... for the LORD will be your confidence.
Proverbs 3:25-26a

Recommended Reading Proverbs 3:21-26

Did you hear about the shark on the twelfth hole? Golfers in San Juan Capistrano, California, were surprised recently when a shark dropped out of the sky and landed on the fairway. Weighing about two pounds, the young fish had been plucked from the ocean by a bird, which dropped him mid-flight. The shark was bleeding from the bird's talons, but when workers released him into the ocean he swam away as though nothing had happened.

We never know what a day will bring. We try to get along swimmingly with everyone; yet in an instant we can be snatched from our comfort zone, wounded without warning, clawed by an enemy, and dropped into the rough. But the same God who cares for the "birdies" and "eagles" will care for you. The Bible says to trust Him, seek His wisdom, and fall asleep each night without fear. "Yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet. Do not be afraid of sudden terror" (Proverbs 3:24-25).

For Christians, a life without fear is par for the course.

Fear may fill our world, but it doesn't have to fill our hearts.
