Proverbs 18:10
“The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” Proverbs 18:10
Here are some names of God that we can meditate on when we are afraid.
His name is Provider—His grace is sufficient for every circumstance (2 Corinthians 12:9) and His wisdom is given in spades (James 1:5).
His name is the All-knowing and Almighty—nothing has escaped His notice, nor is anything beyond the scope of His power (Psalm 57:1-5).
His name is Good—regardless of what He permits to come into our lives, He will bring good from even the darkest situations (Romans 8:28).
His name is Father and Friend—the One who gave His Son to make you His child and to guarantee you a world to come where fear and anxiety are forever replaced by peace and joy (John 14:1-6).
I was preparing for my Precept bible studies and it was on Joseph. Joseph really believed that God is good, no matter what happened in his life. He even believed God will bring good from his suffering, and hence he took everything that happened in stride and he did not allow himself to become bitter. I can really learn from Joseph and trust that God is good and He will bring good from every situations in my life.
