PSALM COLLECTIONS 1

The Antidote to Fear
Therefore we will not fear ( Ps.46:2)
When the forecast calls for a storm,ships need a sure anchor;trees,deep roots;persons a firm foundation of faith.
Faith in God becomes the antidote to fear.Like the psalmist,we too can declare in the middle of life's crises,"Therefore we will n0t fear."
A symbol of arrogance is found in the epigram carved at the doorway of TITANIC: "Not even God can sink this ship." Its blasphemy still rots at the bottom of the Atlantic. Modern man is infected with the myth of self sufficiency,of autonomy.The psalmist reminds us that we are insufficient in our own stregnth alone,that we need God as our refuge and stregnth for trials and testing that surely will come our way
"When shattering experiences come into your life,in place of fear GOD will give u courage and c0mfort"

God is the strength of my heart and portion forever,PSALM 73:26.When we feel the stress of the storm,we learn the strength of the anchor..

For you meet him with the blessings of goodness.
You set a crown of fine gold on his head.
21:4 He asked life of you, you gave it to him,
even length of days forever and ever.
21:5 His glory is great in your salvation.
You lay honor and majesty on him.
21:6 For you make him most blessed forever.
You make him glad with joy in your presence

Psalm 23:1-6

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:

He leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul:

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;

Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:

Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:

and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

"FEAR NOT FOR I AM WITH YOU SAYS THE LORD." HE IS OUR SURE FOUNDATION , OUR STRONGHOLD. ISA.41:10
