FEAR NOT...

Comfort from the Word for those who are afraid....

After these things the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.


The word shield here means buckler or defense.  From the Hebrew root Ganan meaning to defend, cover surround.  The Lord our God defends us, covers us and surrounds us.  He arms us for the battle and fights for us.

Exodus 14:14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you,--Deuteronomy 1:30a
