Delivered from Fear
Luke 1:74
That he would grant to us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,…


How safe Noah, his family, and all the creatures in the ark were when God shut them in, and took them under His protection! A man dreamed that he was enclosed in a steel house, and though enemies came with guns, bayonets, and swords to kill him, he was perfectly safe. How much more secure are those who have God for their Refuge, Shield, and Protector. During a terrible storm at sea, a Christian officer was perfectly calm and fearless. His wife expressed surprise at this, when he drew his sword, and placing the point close to her breast, said, " I could kill you." "But," she replied, "I am not afraid, because I know you love me, and you won't hurt me." '"So I fear not," responded he, "because God loves me, and He won't hurt me." Knox was said never to have feared the face of any man. said once, "Go, tell her," (Queen ) "that I fear nothing but sin."

(H. R. Burton.)
