Promises

 🎶Fear thou not, for I am with thee, be not dismayed, for I am thy God. I will strengthen thee, uphold thee, and help thee to stand for I am the Lord, thy God🎶

A comment. A memory. A hurt. A fear. A song. A promise. 

  God’s always good, isn’t He? In the midst of her fears, He gave her a song. It was a promise. It told her not to fear. It was a reminder that He was with her always. She didn’t need to be dismayed at things that happened. She didn’t need to fear them. She didn’t need to worry what might or might not happen. He would be with her. He would strengthen her. He would help her to stand when things got to be too much. She could be free. She could completely rest in His promise. After all, He was her God. Her Best Friend. He would always be there. He loved her. 

  Sometimes she took that as a suggestion, to not fear. But it really was more than that. She could’ve chosen not to listen, but the only way to find true peace was to obey Him. Trust His promise. He can be trusted, you know. He doesn’t say He’ll do something and then not do it. He’s got an amazing plan all planned out. 

  She’s thankful for that.
