Psalm 35:10 says:
"All my bones will say, 'Lord, who is like You, who delivers the afflicted from him who is too strong for him, and the afflicted and the needy from him who robs him?'"
It's easy for me to see fear as the enemy in this verse. My fear is often too strong for me and it certainly robs me. In reading verses like this one, I am filled with hope and encouragement, reminded that God is in the business of being strong for me - and in me - in the areas of my weaknesses. When He says, "Do not be afraid," because of the strength He gives us through His Holy Spirit in us, we can refuse to be owned by our fear. When He says "Fear not," that says we can trust Him in all things.
