RACHAM: Tender Mercies – The Wonder of God’s Mercy

I sought the LORD, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed. Psalm 34:4-5

The deepest recesses of many hearts are governed by fear. Many fears. Fear is a debilitating captivity. Anxious thoughts torment the soul. They rob us of sleep. Fears lie underneath many actions and reactions of the mind, mouth, and life. Fear motivates more of what we do, and don’t do, than we think. It’s like a rudder for the ship of the soul.

We seem to be unable to address this area of our lives. It lies too deep and secretly in the heart (Jer 17:9-10). We need saving from the outside.

This profound mercy is available to each of us if we pray about it! Christ is the great fear-crusher (Heb 2:14-15). Have you told Him about your fears? If not, why not? Why not “look to him” for deliverance? “ALL my fears”—Wonderful to contemplate isn’t it!
