Living without fear is not a goal, but a byproduct.... Psalms 23 teaches us that fearlessness is a byproduct of revelation. A byproduct of faith in what has been revealed. A byproduct of confidence in the person and nature of God. And is also a matter of experience, stacking up one on top of the other of God's faithfulness in our life. In the same way we run from lust, immorality, love of the world, and evil associations....we resist and reject the idea of fear, because in the end, fear is nothing more than an emotional accusation against the character of God himself.
