Reference selection. Read each chapter for context. About
Some biblical uses of fear describe distress, while others concern reverence. This collection starts with reassurance and trust. Notice the speaker and setting before applying a passage; a comforting verse should not be used to shame a person for feeling afraid. The quotation labels identify the Bible version. Use a reference link to read its chapter and compare the wording with the commentary.

Psalm 23:4 uses the image of a shepherd’s presence in danger. Read the psalm as a whole rather than treating it as a promise that danger never occurs.
