What We Know

The Lord is my light and my salvation— so why should I be afraid?

Psalm 27:1a  NLT

Our fears come in waves - mostly of the unknown, if you think about it. What you don't know, can and often does hurt us because we give in to the fear of not knowing. We don't know if we'll get sick and die. We don't know if we'll lose our jobs. We don't know if someone will hurt our children. We don't know...

Let's focus on what we do know. The Lord is my light and my salvation - so why should I be afraid? If He is our light, there is nothing hiding in the shadows. If He is our salvation, then we are saved from whatever would try to keep us from His way. 

The whole chapter is rich with the assurance of rescue from whatever the world throws at us. There is no need to fear, no reason to doubt. This is what we DO know - I am confident I will see the Lord’s goodness while I am here in the land of the living.

Prayer:

Father,

           Help us to hold Your Truths next to our hearts.  Let us be quick to grasp Your Truths and overcome the fears of the world. Thank You for Your Word, rich in Truth and salvation and light. Help us to share and shine Your light of truth and salvation to a lost and fearful world. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
