The Ultimate Comfort
Multiple commentators, especially Charles Spurgeon, highlight "Fear not: for I am with thee" as the "master-consolation." The ultimate antidote to fear is not a change in circumstances but the unwavering presence of God Himself. John Calvin adds that this promise is repeated because we are so prone to doubt, and our safety rests entirely in God's presence with us.
