Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. (NLT)
— 約書亞記:一9
詩篇裡曾描述,在人們生活中常會有『黑夜的驚駭、Terrors of the night』、『白日飛的箭、Arrow flies in the day』、『黑夜行的瘟疫、Disease that stalks in darkness』、『午間滅人的災難、Disaster that strikes at midday』。是的,在這不可測的世界裡,人們常常會為許多明、暗、已知、未知、可防、不可防的危險禍患而擔憂懼怕。但對於神兒女,卻是要記得父神親口應許的這句話,祂必時刻與我們同在。神若不是護庇保守、就是有祂的美意使萬事互相效力,並會賜下夠用的恩典。我們是否願意不懼怕、不驚惶,而能全心信靠祂呢⋯?
