PRAISE THE LORD!
The Prophet
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?" (Psalm 27)
The answer
to both questions is, no one. In fact,
we have not been given the spirit of fear, period! We are not beholden to anyone because no one
here on earth can claim to be the strength of our life.
We are new
creatures in Christ. In Christ, we
actually have a new source of strength.
the strength we have in Christ is a measured strength according to the
scriptures:
"and as thy days,
so shall thy strength be." (Deut. 33:25)
That is
reassuring; to know that God is personally aware of the needs of each and every
one of us. To know that God has already
inventoried our day before it starts and has measured out sufficient strength
for that day. The second verse in that
Psalm talks about our enemies. God knows
all of them and He knows exactly when they will exert their will against us and
that too, is covered.
