A heart happy and secure in the love of the Lord is free to live a fearless life
A happy and blessed woman is fearless in her pursuit of God and His will for her life.
Oh, how happy is the one who has tasted and seen the glory of God. (Psa. 34:8) A blessed woman by all accounts because she has intimate knowledge of the Lord’s love for her. (Eph. 1:17) She knows her God will never lose sight of her; therefore, she has no reason to fear anything or anyone. (Deu. 31:6) Her heart is rooted and established in God and grounded by His faithfulness; she is fearless! (Isa. 41:10)
Do you know this woman? If not, take a moment and re-read her description and see if her identity comes to mind. Is it still a mystery to you? Okay, here is the big reveal: It’s you, it’s me, it’s who God created us to be!
To learn more about becoming a bold and fearless woman of God we turn to the 112 chapter of Psalms. This psalm falls into the category of a Hallelujah psalm, an acrostic poem detailing the blessings received by those who choose to revere and glorify God by living a righteous life.
Psalm 112
[1] Praise the Lord. Blessed are those who fear the Lord, who find great delight in his commands. [2] Their children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed. [3] Wealth and riches are in their houses, and their righteousness endures forever. [4] Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous. [5] Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely, who conduct their affairs with justice. [6] Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever. [7] They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord. [8] Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear; in the end they will look in triumph on their foes. [9] They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor, their righteousness endures forever; their horn will be lifted high in honor. [10] The wicked will see and be vexed, they will gnash their teeth and waste away; the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.
The Hebrew word used in place of “fear” in Psalm 112 is yare’ which means to stand in awe of God and have a constant reverence for His majesty. Those who reverently fear the Lord and respect His commands find themselves in their “element.” In other words, when we are walking in the Lord’s will, we are more satisfied and fulfilled in what we are doing than at any other time in our lives. Serving the Lord and being obedient to what He calls us to do becomes an absolute
