Devotional Thought
God does not want us to live in fear.
Fear may come when enemies surround us, but it doesn’t need to take root in our hearts.
Instead, we can rest in the truth that God’s light will pierce through any darkness, with His strength.
There’s no enemy, seen or unseen, that can overcome the protection of God’s love.
This is the confidence we have when we say, “I do not fear my enemies.”
