Count On God And

Overcome Fear 61

[Psa 27:1-5]

/ Anne's Faith Column 

 

 

 

/  By Priscilla

 

 

 

"The LORD is my light

and my salvation--

whom shall I fear?" 

 

 

“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?

 

 

 

When evil men advance

against me to devour

my flesh, when my enemies

and my foes attack me,

they will stumble and fall.

 

 

 

Though an army besiege me,

my heart will not fear;

though war break out

against me, even then

will I be confident.

 

 

 

One thing I ask of the LORD,

this is what I seek:

that I may dwell in the

house of the LORD

 

 

 

all the days of my life,

to gaze upon the beauty

of the LORD

 

 

 

and to seek him in his temple.

For in the day of trouble

he will keep me safe

in his dwelling;

 

 

 

he will hide me in the shelter

of his tabernacle and

set me high upon a rock.“

(Psa 27:1-5)

 

 

 

How comforting this

scripture is to each of us!

The help of the Lord

is definitely indispensable

to each of us.

 

 

 

No matter what the

circumstances,

 

 

 

the Lord never leaves

our sides and comforts us,

so we no longer need

to feel fear.

 

 

 

We must overcome

the fear that comes upon

 each of us every moment.

 

 

 

We belong to the Lord.

When we are under the

hand of Almighty God,

we can truly enjoy true

peace and rest.

 

 

 

"The LORD is the

stronghold of my life

--of whom shall I be afraid?"

(Psa 27:1)

 

 

 

As David confessed,

the LORD is the stronghold

of our lives, so we need

no longer to focus on

making people pleased.

 

 

 

Although Jesus suffered

from people's blasphemy,

insults, and all kinds

of gossip, Jesus did

not waver at all.

 

 

 

We should not waste

our time trying to

excuse ourselves for 

the people around

us any longer.

 

 

 

We should not deviate

from the essence of faith

under any circumstances.

 

 

 

Only what we want

is to fear God and focus

on doing things that

please God.

 

 

 

Then we no longer have

to fear our enemies

and evildoers.

 

 

 

We should pay more

attention to the

following the scripture. 

 

 

 

"Though an army besiege me,

my heart will not fear;

though war break out

against me, even then

will I be confident."

(Psa 27:3)

 

 

As we see in the scripture

above, from now on,

for the rest of our lives,

 

 

 

we must strive to become

children of God who gaze

upon the LORD even more.

 

 

 

If so, we will become

children of God who praise 

our Heavenly Father

more joyfully,

 

 

 

and we will have 

a rewarding life

because of the LORD

who is our stronghold.

 

 

 

Prayer

 

 

 

Lord!

I sincerely thank You.

You make my life

rewarding and joyful.

 

 

 

I count on You who never

change your mind.

 

 

 

Lord!

You make no mistakes

so I am no longer

concerned or afraid.

 

 

 

I go out relying on You,

my Lord, who defeats all

enemies every moment.

 

 

 

May You, who are mighty

in war, personally defeat

the enemies that come to me.

 

 

 

You who prepare a table

before me in the presence

of my enemies!

 

 

 

May You lead me to green

pastures and beside

quiet waters!

 

 

 

Amen.
