The Lord is With Us
“The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” — Psalm 118:6
When the psalmist David wrote in this scripture "I will not be afraid," he meant that he didn’t feel fear. He is declaring that when he did feel afraid, he didn't let the fear control him. We should all have that same attitude. In fact, it’s the best possible attitude for a person to have, because fear is not from God. We should resist it firmly in the power of the Holy Spirit. God wants us to know that we don’t have to be afraid of anything or anyone, because He is with us. He is good and will take care of us. As David wrote, “What can mere mortals do to me?” People may try to intimidate or frighten us, but they are mere mortals. God is all-powerful, and people are powerless compared to Him. Best of all, the Lord is always with us.
