Proverbs 1:33 - Fear No Evil.

Proverbs 1:33 (NKJV) But whoever listens to 
me will dwell safely, And will be secure, 
without fear of evil."  

COMMENTARY PEARL

   Are you afraid to turn on the lights in 
your house? It sounds like a silly question, but 
not for Benjamin Harrison. In 1897, the 
President of the United States decided to have a new 
invention installed in the White House - electric 
lights. But the commander in chief and his wife were 
afraid of getting shocked by the new system, which 
was made with crude wiring. They never touched a 
light switch and always had White House staff turn 
them on or off. 
   You might giggle at Harrison's 
electrophobia, but have you ever been afraid of something? 
Some people are frightened by spiders or snakes 
or flying or public speaking. What sends 
shivers up your spine? How about evil? 
   Fear isn't all bad. It keeps us on our 
toes and helps us to be careful. And, for the 
Christian, we all know there is a devil who wants to 
destroy us. So, shouldn't we be afraid of Satan? Not 
according to today's Bible promise. Those who listen 
to God's wise counsel, yet who not only listen 
but also obey the word of the Lord, can live 
"without fear of evil." 
   It's a good idea to have a healthy 
respect for poisonous spiders and snakes. We should 
be careful around electricity because it could 
kill us. But there is no need to fear the devil 
when you put yourself in God's hands. The Lord is 
far more powerful than Satan; He will protect 
His weakest child. 
   Are you afraid of the devil's darkness? 
Turn on the light of God's promises. When you 
truly listen to and live by the Bible, you have 
nothing to fear. 
   Dear Lord, I give You all my fears and 
choose to live by Your Word. [The Most Amazing
