Afraid of What?

Thinking of psalm 23. were David says, I will fear no evil, what a bold statement, and a amazing one, is it possible, to fear no evil?.First of all , he is not writing of all fears , some fears are healthy, but there are fears that we do need to challenge, take the fear of death, many young people fear death, the Christian view is , Christ has conquered death by His resurrection, [C.P. John 11 v25], so , because He lives we shall live also,consider the words of David in Psalm 23v4 , He refers to the valley of the shadow of death, he sees death as but a shadow, consider a shadow cannot hurt, a shadow has no power to do us any harm, the great secret of overcoming our fears, be it death or whatever,is to believe what Gods word tells us, faith is the answer. [Father so often my life is affected by fear,fear that robs me of your peace, forgive and help me to grow in faith,help me to experience a deeper trust in you , in Jesus name, Amen.]
