Dread is a terrible feeling, and anyone who has cared for another has felt it.
It sits in the gut, and brings cold sweats to the forehead.
And it can be foreign to the righteous!
Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever. They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord. (Psalms 112:6-7 NIV, emphasis mine)
We don’t have to dread what’s coming next when our hands are being held by the One who faced death and overcame it!
