 Do not fear or be dismayed; . . . for the LORD is with you. 2 Chronicles 20:17
When our son Brian was small, I took him with me to pick up our babysitter. As I approached the
house, I noticed that her dog, usually penned in the backyard, was lying on the front porch. At first
glance, the dog looked benign. But to my alarm he sprang to his feet and attacked Brian, who
leaped for my leg, shinnied up to my waist, and somehow ended up wrapped around my neck and
shoulders.
I, on the other hand, was left to fend off the dog. We danced for a whilethe dog trying to get in a
bite and I a kickuntil, to my relief, the owner came around the house and called off the beast. All
of usdog, boy, and Iescaped unscathed.
Later, as we were walking to the car, Brian looked up to me and said, Dad, Ill go anywhere with
you. His confidence was misplaced; I can fail him. But I often think of his words when I grapple
with fear.
As Moses faced uncertain circumstances, he implored God, Show me now Your way, . . . that I
may find grace in Your sight (Ex. 33:13). The Lord replied, My Presence will go with you (v.14).
Whenever we enter frightening circumstances or face furious assaults, we can say with
confidence, Lord, Ill go anywhere with You.
Anywhere with Jesus I am not alone,
Other friends may fail meHe is still my own;
Though His hand may lead me over dreary ways,
Anywhere with Jesus is a house of praise. Pounds
You need not fear where youre going when God is going with you.

Exodus 33:14
