The Lord delivers me from all my fears by bringing me into the fear of the Lord. I will experience fear, trouble and affliction: Bad things happen to good people. Why? Because every person, good and bad, constantly has around him and in him the enemies (sin, death and devil) causing bad experiences. The name for these enemies is “Evil”.
Evil seeks to destroy while God promises to keep from being destroyed. He does not promise bad things won’t happen, but He does promise that they won’t defeat us. The key: seek Him. “Taste and see that the Lord is good.” Both God and Enemies are ever present; turn from one and look to the other. The Holy Spirit prompts the turning. This is the “fear of the Lord” that frees from fear.
Young lions are the strongest and most self-sufficient beings we know of; but they will lack and go hungry. Those who trust in themselves and their own ability and effort will suffer want and go empty. But he who seeks the Lord and is dependent on Him will never (this means not ever) lack any good thing. Fear the Lord for He is Good!
