Proverbs 3:25-26 ” Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being snared.”

The world today is a scary place, full of violence, destruction, and catastrophes. But this Proverb encourages us to not look at the temporal turbulent viciousness of the world, but to use Godly wisdom in seeking right relationships and orderly existence among the ungodly. It goes on to reassure us that our trust in God is where we can find hope & confidence…or as Job 4:6 tells us, “Your blameless ways (integrity) are your hope.” Finally, our confidence in God will be rewarded as He protects & rescues us from the many life-threatening calamites that will beset us in the world. (Job 5:19)
