What Can Man Do To Me?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who say, “I will not fear. What can man do to me?” In Jesus’ name, amen.
Fear can paralyze a person to inaction. Fear can also keep a person awake at night. Anyone can go through a season of panic and anxiety.
The cure for such things is God’s word where it says, “The Lord is on my side.”
Psalm 118:5-9 (ESV) explains that God can answer us personally and set us free.
“Out of my distress I called on the Lord;
the Lord answered me and set me free.
The Lord is on my side; I will not fear.
What can man do to me?
The Lord is on my side as my helper;
I shall look in triumph on those who hate me.It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in man.
It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in princes.”
Where is it you go when you need to take refuge from panic and anxiety? Where do you run when afraid?
2 Timothy 1:7 (ESV) tells us,
“For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”
Think about what it means to turn to the Lord and take refuge in him. When in distress, know God is on your side.
