Believers filled with the Holy Spirit can walk in boldness and fearlessness, like lions, while the wicked live in constant paranoia. True courage comes from obedience to God and reliance on His power, not human strength.

If God is for me, who can be against me? Greater is he who is in me, the Holy Spirit, than he who's in the world. So if I'm walking confidently before God, I can't be intimidated by people. If I'm walking in obedience to the most powerful one, no one can threaten me in a way that's going to make me nervous. The wicked run away when no one is chasing them. They live lives of paranoia. But the godly are as bold as lions. What does that mean? The wicked run away when no one is chasing them. They just live in fear. The constant fear of being found out, of being exposed, of having things go wrong, of their secrets catching up with them, of the people they wronged coming back to wrong them. There's that paranoia that comes with living an unrighteous life. But the godly are as bold as lions. What is that godliness? That's obedience to the work of the Holy Spirit, submission to the hand of God, which ultimately produces this boldness. Why? Because you know that when you're right with God, no one can harm you.
