Fear
1 The Lord is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1
I have always liked the way this Psalm started out, the light, the Lord being the stronghold in my life. It really lays it all out in front of us. I didn't realize how much was in this Psalm until this last week. We all have fears of the unknown, but we should not fear the unknown, because there is One who knows all. The enemy on this earth senses the fear in all of us and will do everything in his earthly power to get us to succumb to that fear. He puts doubt in our head, he tries to show us where we are weak, and he tries to pull us away from our Savior. When in the middle of our circumstances, whether we fear them or not, we tend to forget how strong our Lord is and He can comfort us from all this fear or guide us through our rough path. I prayed this Psalm this week on more than one occasion and I also spent many other times praying very specifically. When I did these things, I felt an overwhelming calmness come over me and the enemy quit trying to make me think that my God did not care about me. God does care about all His children, we just need to remember to involve Him in our daily walk and not forget who He is. No Fear was a famous saying a few years ago, and I think we need to start saying "With God I Have No Fear." #WGIHNF
Have a great weekend.
