Our God, our Deliverer, is mighty in power, awesome in holiness, and greater than any of our foes. Throughout history, the Lord has repeatedly proven his love, presence, and power in and for us, his people. So, we can refuse to fear what the evil one threatens to do to us because our Savior has already defeated hell, sin, death, Satan, and demons. And we will enjoy that victory with him one day forever.
