The fear of the wicked will come upon him,
And the desire of the righteous will be granted. When the whirlwind passes by, the wicked is no more, But the righteous has an everlasting foundation.—Prov 10:24-25—
When I was without God, I was without an anchor and without a foundation on which to stand AND I knew it. There were times when fear would grip me...warning words would sound in my head telling me that there was a God and my day of reckoning was ahead and that it would come when I least expected it. Arrogantly, I ignored those warnings. BUT God ...in His mercy and grace did not leave me to eat the fruit of my own way. He drew me to Himself with cords of kindness and brought me to a place of repentance. He redeemed (redeems)my life from destruction and fulfills all my purpose. My God crowns me with loving kindness and tender mercies...truly my cup runs over.
My foundation is sure...built now on my Rock, which is Christ. He enlarges my path underneath me so my feet do not slip. In Him I dwell securely...my habitation is peaceful, my resting places quiet and my sleep sweet. When I pass through the waters, He is with me and the rivers, they do (shall) not overflow me. I can now because of His grace boldly say, “the Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”
Keep my heart steadfast Father, trusting You.
