Whom shall I fear?

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? When evildoers assail me to devour my flesh—my adversaries and foes—they shall stumble and fall. Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war rise up against me, yet I will be confident. One thing I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple. For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will set me high on a rock. Now my head is lifted up above my enemies all around me, and I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melody to the Lord. (Psalm 27:1-6, NRSV)

Those who come against me will fall and fail when I have the Lord on my side!

With the Lord as my light and salvation there is no reason for me to fear. Even when the world is closing around me, and my earthly life is near it’s end, I have no need to fear.

This does not mean that life will be easy and a walk in the park. Or life will be a rose garden and everything happen the way I want it to. It means that God is for me and my future and present are secure in Him!

So nothing shall I fear!
