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
Everything appears different in the dark. Things we would not even take
notice of in the light, will suddenly capture our attention and even
cause us to be suspicious and fearful. It's always easier to give into
fear, instead of trusting and exercising our faith. Lack of physical
exercise causes our bodies to become weak. So it is with our faith, when
we fail to apply it daily to our lives. Life is a journey and when we
accept Jesus Christ to be a part of our life, He becomes our personal
guide through it. There is nothing to fear from the past, in the present
or future. When it seems that darkness surrounds and our hearts begin to
hear things and become fearful, we can simply look to the light. Jesus
Christ is the light that not only is leading us, but dwells within us.
We have nothing to fear. God’s word is true, let every person be a liar,
but God be true. The words of others, even out of the best intentions,
can many times lead us to a state of hopelessness and fear. When God
says He loves us and will not forget us, leave us, or fail us, we can be
assured that He means it and it is true.
Prayer
Lord, if the whole world is shakened, and unstable, I am trusting in
Your steady hand to guide me through. Thank you for faithfully leading
the way and shedding light in the darkness. You are the source and the
strength of my life. Amen.
