With God as your helper, there’s no need to fear!

“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” (Heb 13:6)

While traveling in our RV during a turbulent political season in our country, police abruptly rerouted us to back roads to avoid the riots that were going on in a city that we were about to travel through. As we switched on our radio, we became aware of the plight of innocent individuals being attacked along our intended route. Anger-fueled mobs were stopping cars on the freeway, yanking people out, and causing them serious injuries. We were grateful for the warning and for the alternative route.

Scary things do happen!

Today, It's impossible to pick up the newspaper, turn on the television or radio, or even look at social media without being bombarded with all kinds of fearful news! And yes, it can be frightening. But fear doesn't have to rule us because we have a constant helper! And it's none other than God Himself! Check out the following promises!

God’s hand will help you!

“Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10)

 When you cry out to God, He will answer!

“In the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul.” (Psalm 137:3)

“For he will deliver the needy when he cries for help, The afflicted also, and him who has no helper. He will have compassion on the poor and needy, And the lives of the needy he will save. He will rescue their life from oppression and violence, And their blood will be precious in his sight.” (Psalms 72:12-14)

Therefore

“But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; He is their strength in time of trouble.” (Psalm 37:39)
