Free from Fear
July 23, 2016
I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.
Psalm 34:4
Fear sneaks into my heart without permission. It paints a picture of helplessness and hopelessness. It steals my peace and my concentration. What am I fearful about? Im concerned about the safety of my family or the health of loved ones. I panic at the loss of a job or a broken relationship. Fear turns my focus inward and reveals a heart that sometimes finds it hard to trust.
When these fears and worries strike, how good it is to read Davids prayer in Psalm 34: I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears (v. 4). And how does God deliver us from our fears? When we look to him (v. 5), when we focus on Him, our fears fade; we trust Him to be in control. Then David mentions a different type of fearnot a fear that paralyzes, but a deep respect and awe of the One who surrounds us and delivers us (v. 7). We can take refuge in Him because He is good (v. 8).
This awe of His goodness helps put our fears into perspective. When we remember who God is and how much He loves us, we can relax into His peace. Those who fear him lack nothing (v. 9), concludes David. How wonderful to discover that in the fear of the Lord we can be delivered from our fears.
Lord, Im aware of my worries and fears, and I place them in Your hands. Give me peace as I face the day.
Ask God to free you from your fears.
In the Old Testament, references to the nature of life after death are obscure. Therefore, the Israelites often struggled to reconcile the injustices of life, since they believed what happened beyond the grave was uncertain. Another belief that influenced Jewish thinking about the afterlife was the principle of retribution that taught God blessed the righteous and judged the wickedbut only in this life. Three psalms focus on this concept. Psalm 34 explains the basic principle. Psalm 37 offers counsel to one who suffers without understanding. And in Psalm 73, the psalmist himself wrestles with the problem of injustice but sees an eternal solution.

Happy Caturday, Bunnyday and Dogurday
We had a sandhill crane near our back window this morning, and it made our Dogurday morning quite noisy as he barked away at it through the window. I call it “the Doberman alarm”. I had to get up and make sure everything was OK.

We had turkeys in our yard this morning. Fortunately, the dogs don’t seem very interested in them.

It’s all in the key words that you use in the search engine. :-)
This was found under “summertime kitten pictures” on DuckDuckGo.

The turkey population here in Wisconsin has really grown in the last 10 years. I never used to see them, and now it is very common. I’ve seen a couple wolves too. Glad I keep the horses inside at night. A few years ago a cougar was roaming around, spotted 30 miles from here. If I saw one of those I’d really freak out. My cousin ‘up north’ has had bears in his yard. Yikes.
