Don’t be afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes: for the LORD will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being taken.
–Proverbs 3:25-26

Today’s verse tells us something we generally don’t like to think about.

It tells us we are going to be afraid, that wicked people and situations are going to try to lure us away from God, and that Satan has no intentions of giving up trying to steal our soul away from God. Talk about depressing and ominous!

It would be, anyway, if not for the rest of the verse.
