Day 349: Psalm 118:6

"The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?" ~Psalm 118:6, NIV

What a prevalent thought - that when in God's hand, nothing can touch us, nothing can stop us. It reoccurs several times in this psalm. It is a repetitious thought throughout the Bible.

Why?

It's all about God. It's not about us. He is big enough, He can do infinitely more, and He loves us more than we can comprehend. He is the reason any of us exist. If He is in us, then we can choose to not be afraid, and we can realize that none of it matters without Him.

Mere mortals, bah, what are they in the face of eternity? For that is what we have to gain or lose.
