"Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken."
Proverbs 3:25-26
What I noticed with the first verse is where it says "when it cometh." It doesn't say "if" or talk about it as though it might not happen, but just assumes that it will... which I think is something that God is explaining to us throughout the scriptures. In Lehi's dream he started out in a bad place and the other people had to endure a mist of darkness and several other things that were intended to drive them from the path. The iron rod was there so that they could feel their wasy when they were blinded, not 'maybe if' that happened.
We're all going to go through hardship and trials. Fear and "the desolation of the wicked" are going to rear their heads at some point... but God has prepared us for these things. He can help us, and by trusting him and having faith in his deliverance, we can make him the stability in our lives, or as the verse says, he shall be our confidence. He will help guide our steps and prevent us from fallig into traps and snares laid by the adversary.
Today, let's remember that bad things are going to come, but also that God has prepared for all of these things. Let's work with him, and accept his help in eathering the storms and staying on the path to heaven and happiness.
