I love Psalm 107:20. It says, “He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” Pride ~ doing things independent of God. One who fears the Lord, walks in the humility of dependent trust.

Psalm 112 has a key verse to put into our memory bank. Verse 7 says of the one who fears the Lord, “He will not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.”

This verse has special meaning to me. The day I told my mom that she was not expected to live because she was full of cancer, her heart was steadfast. Her words, “So I’m not going to make it after all.” 

Her doctor had told me six weeks. Her eternal hope sustained her until He took her home four days later. She knew her name was written in the Lamb’s Book Of Life, and she had nothing to fear.
