"He shall not fear an ill report;
his heart is steadfast, trusting the LORD.
His heart is tranquil, without fear,
till at last he looks down on his foes." (Psalm 112: 7 - 8)
The man who is steadfast in trusting in the Lord with all his heart will not fear bad news from any quarters. Whether the devil attacks him with ill tidings on family, health, finances, job, tools and property, food and future. He will not be moved because his heart and mind are fixed on God for his security.
"God is our refuge and our strength,
an ever-present help in distress.
Thus we do not fear, though earth be shaken
and mountains quake to the depths of the sea,
Though its waters rage and foam
and mountains totter at its surging." (Psalm 46: 2 - 4)
"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
your rod and your staff comfort me." (Psalm 23: 4)
"Do not fear: I am with you;
do not be anxious: I am your God.
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my victorious right hand." (Isaiah 41: 10)
"Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God.
Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4: 6 - 7)
"Fear is useless; what is needed is trust." (Luke 8: 50; Mark 5: 36)
Trust in the Lord and refuse steadfastly any fears, worries or doubts. What makes us fearless is the absolute certainty of the presence of Jesus with us.
