Courageous Faith
LISTEN
“He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall
take refuge; His truth shall  be your shield and buckler.”
—Psalm 91:4
Fear is an overwhelming emotion that can take hold of us and cause
irrationality to the point that  we’re no longer dealing with reality.
In fact, sometimes we can be more devastated by fear than the  very
thing we’re afraid of.
I spent part of my childhood in New Jersey, where on one cold morning,
I was walking around the  neighborhood with a newly acquired pair of
cowboy cap guns. I had on my little belt with my  holsters and guns,
and I was feeling pretty tough.
But a couple of young hoodlums spotted me and starting pushing me
around. Even worse, they  confiscated my cap guns and started laughing
at me. With empty holsters, I went home crying.
Then I told my brother what happened and asked him to help me get my
guns back. He was five years  older than me and a lot bigger.
So we went back and found the guys with my guns. Feeling great courage,
I walked up and demanded  that they give my guns back. My newfound
boldness, however, didn’t come from who I was but because  of who was with me.
Psalm 91:4 tells us, “He shall cover you with His feathers, and under
His wings you shall take  refuge; His truth shall be your shield and
buckler” (NKJV).
God will put His wings around us. He will protect us. And because of
this, the psalmist is saying,  we don’t have to be afraid. Why? Because
He’s with us.
In addition, verses 9 and 10 include a promise: “Because you have made
the Lord, who is my refuge,  even the Most High, your dwelling place,
no evil shall befall you” (NKJV).
As we look at a frightening world, we can have courage—not because of
who we are, but because God  is with us.
