Fearless

"THE LORD is my Light and my Salvation--whom shall I fear or dread? The Lord is the Refuge and Stronghold of my life--of whom shall I be afraid?" Psalm 27:1


       There is no question that we live in troubling times. Everywhere you look there are news reels of war, famine, and economic depression. The media is so keen on reporting fear and pestilence that it becomes all we believe.


        King David (the writer of this Psalm) felt hemmed in on every side. His world was falling apart as his father in law (King Saul) was in pursuit to kill him, and for what? David did nothing wrong, all he did was honor the king, yet with his endless supply of resources and troops Saul fiercely went after David.


         In the midst of all this, David remained fearless because He knows that God was his light and salvation. He knows that no man or situation in his life can overcome his God so he remained in steadfast trust in the Almighty. It seems like these days remembering that God is our light and salvation will be the anecdote to the scourge of negativity rampant in this world, and the only element sufficient in being totally fearless.
