Confidence:
Psalm

trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name
of The Lord our God.

Philippians
2:12 KJV
Wherefore,
my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but
now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear
and trembling.
Hebrews
10:26-31 NLT
26
Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have
received knowledge of The Truth, there is no longer any sacrifice
that will cover these sins.
27
There is only the terrible expectation of God’s judgment and the
raging fire that will consume His enemies.
28
For anyone who refused to obey the law of Moses was put to death
without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
29
Just think how much worse the punishment will be for those who have
trampled on The Son Of God, and have treated The Blood of the
covenant, which made us holy, as if it were common and unholy, and
have insulted and disdained The Holy Spirit who brings God’s mercy
to us.
30
For we know the one who said, “I will take revenge. I will pay them
back.” He also said, “The Lord will judge His own people.”
31
It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of The Living God.

of the king of Assyria or his mighty army, for there is A Power far

our God to help us and to fight our battles for us!” Hezekiah’s
words greatly encouraged the people.

Salvation belongeth unto The Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people.

Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear:
though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion: in the
secret of His tabernacle shall He hide me; He shall set me up upon A
Rock.

Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell
God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done.
7
Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can
understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in
Christ Jesus.

and of a Sound Mind.

us therefore come boldly unto The Throne Of Grace, that we may obtain
mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

17
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day
of judgment: because as He is, so are we in this world.

fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

according to His will, He heareth us:

will scatter the bones of your enemies. You will put them to shame,
for God has rejected them.

earth, for fear of The Lord, and for the glory of His majesty, when
He ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

sinners in Jerusalem shake with fear. Terror seizes the godless. “Who
can live with this devouring fire?” they cry. “Who can survive

I
will send them great trouble— all the things they feared. For when
I called, they did not answer. When I spoke, they did not listen.
They deliberately sinned before My very eyes and chose to do what
they know I despise.”
Daniel
5:1-6 NLT
1
Many years later King Belshazzar gave a great feast for 1,000 of his
nobles, and he drank wine with them.
2
While Belshazzar was drinking the wine, he gave orders to bring in
the gold and silver cups that his predecessor, Nebuchadnezzar, had
taken from the Temple in Jerusalem. He wanted to drink from them with
his nobles, his wives, and his concubines.
3
So they brought these gold cups taken from the Temple, the house of
God in Jerusalem, and the king and his nobles, his wives, and his
concubines drank from them.
4
While they drank from them they praised their idols made of gold,
silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone.
5
Suddenly, they saw the fingers of a human hand writing on the plaster
wall of the king’s palace, near the lampstand. The king himself saw
the hand as it wrote,
6
and his face turned pale with fright. His knees knocked together in
fear and his legs gave way beneath him.
Hebrews
10:26,27 NLT
26
Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have
received knowledge of The Truth, there is no longer any sacrifice
that will cover these sins.

There is only the terrible expectation of God’s judgment and the
raging fire that will consume His enemies.
I
John 4:18 KJV
There
is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear
hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

see Him now, you trust Him; and you rejoice with a glorious,
inexpressible joy.
