Jesus tells us in His Word - "Do not worry about tomorrow, since today has enough troubles of it's own." I do not know about you, but life has a way of throwing us very difficult, sometimes almost overwhelming situations in our lives. I know that if it was not for the Lord, the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, that I would not make it!
I have been reading the Psalms during this time of great struggle and I am thankful for the Holy Spirit that fills us with His presence, His power, His love, His comfort.
I want to encourage you to read Psalm 27 and allow the Lord to encourage you from His Word.
In verse 1 - "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."
David was a man who understood fear? He was a hunted man, running for His life. David committed adultery and murder and he understood difficult times in life. Today, you may be experiencing fear over situations in your life. Fear from people, fear of the future, fear of rejection, fear of finances, fear of guilt and condemnation, fear of bad choices, fear loneliness, etc.
The Lord gives us hope in verse 1 - by making these things a reality!
- The Lord is MY LIGHT (light has a way of making things clearer and easier to handle. God's Word is light - and when we are in a time of darkness, confusion, depression, what we need is God's light!
- The Lord is MY SALVATION - I need a personal relationship with the Lord! Not my parents salvation, religion, but a real and living relationship with the Lord personally in our own lives. Is the Lord YOUR PERSONAL SALVATION today?
- The Lord is the STRONGHOLD OF MY LIFE - What is the strongest thing in your life? Is is your family, mate, children, friends, finances, job, or a number of other things? These things will always fail you, let you down, disappoint you. I am so thankful that the LORD IS THE STRONGHOLD OF MY LIFE!
Today if you are going through a rough time! Encourage yourself in the Word of God!
