Today's world is full of fearful and terrifying things. Daily the war on terror continues and as you listen to the evening news, you may feel fear trying to take hold of you. At times like these, there is a place where you can flee for protection. Jehovah the Lord is your refuge and you always have hope in Him. Instead of cowering, you can be bold, confident, and secure. As you put your trust in the Lord, you can go through your days without a care.

Therefore, brighten up and rejoice. You can perpetually be filled with joy. Instead of shrieking and trembling, you can shout or sing aloud in triumph, for the Lord has fenced and hedged you in with His protection. He covers and defends you, for your life is entwined and joined to Him.
