I wrote a few days ago about fear. It is ugly and can pop up at any moment. I had an event that caused fear to rise in me. I spent a day fearing what the outcome might be, but the following morning I surrendered that fear to the LORD Jesus and I accepted His love and peace.
I found out a few days later than fear does not like to remain surrendered. It likes to re-appear and attempt once again to immobilize. That must be why there are so many Scriptures addressing fear in the Bible. God knew we would need each one!
I was looking at a few “fear” verses this morning and my heart grabbed hold of Psalm 27. “The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?” [vs1 NKJV]
The LORD, the LORD God Almighty is my light and my salvation. I accepted His invitation to be HIS more than one half century ago. Since I belong to the LORD, to God Almighty, is there anyone on earth that I should fear?
Is there anyone on earth greater than my LORD? Is there anyone on earth that is stronger than my LORD? Is there anyone on this earth that can overpower God’s love for me? No.
So, “Of whom shall I be afraid?” No One! Praise the LORD.
