I Am Afraid

"It is a good maxim with which to go into a world of danger; a good maxim to go to sea with; a good maxim in a storm; a good maxim when in danger on the land; a good maxim when we are sick; a good maxim when we think of death and the judgment - What time I am afraid - I will trust in Thee." (Albert Barnes) There is a cry going forth in the world today. It is a "cry" coming from the hearts of mankind saying - "I am afraid." Fears are something that are common to all men. But it is how they react to their fears that makes the difference. Dr. Don Gommeson said it well - "Fear cannot hurt us if we treat it as an opportunity to trust in our God."
