If we read that verse, we might wonder why God would want such a promise in the bible that isn't true. I mean, we know that there are many people that are fearful, and many that do not have a sound mind.
So why God? Why is that a promise and seeming not the truth?
Well, there is an answer for that. And the answer is that we live in a fallen and broken world. And those problems just aren't easily dealt with in a world that does not see or do things God's way.
Medications, though maybe for some are a good thing. For others, not so much.
Therapy with someone who is not a Christian, is not always a good thing. Not that all therapist are bad people. But consider this verse:
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly...Psalm 1:1
It is just better that when we need counseling, we go to someone that knows what God's word says.
The subject of mental illness or even just trying to get over being fearful about something can be quite troubling, not only for the person but their family as well.
So, the first place to look is to the Lord. Let him direct us to the help we need. Because if we.....
...trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
Another promise to us that he will take care of us.
Thanks for coming by today, Friends
God bless
