Deuteronomy 7:21 "Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible."
The word “terrible” here should really mean “fearful” from the Hebrew word YARE, יָרֵא. This same word is used in Deuteronomy 10:21, Nehemiah 9:32, Psalm 99:3, to name a few verses, and its other meanings are "to be feared," "reverenced," "to be reverenced."

Today, our family received word that several of our friends are going through some deep waters right now. I'm thankful that they are all believers and they're aware that God has known they would be going through this today. But, being fragile human beings, there is also fear and some questions, the answers to which we won't know right now.
I've been praying that the promise that God is on our side through ALL our circumstances will bring comfort and peace to these dear folks. May God continue to be their hope, their light, their strength and their song!
