Psalm 27:1, 3 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?…Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
One of the blessings and joys of fearing, loving, and trusting in God alone is that I have nothing and no one to be afraid of. My spiritual enemies, sin, death, and the devil will war against me all the time, yet I will not fear. In confident faith I will live my life.
Romans 8:31: “If God be for us who can be against us?” Because of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Almighty God our Father is on our side. V. 35: “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?” V. 37: “In all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us” These Truths and Comforts may be easy to profess on Sunday morning, but it gets harder when life happens every day. Therefore, we make use of Gospel reminders daily, even if it is just singing, thanking, and praising God during the day.
The Enemy is always nearby, but our Lord and Savior is always closer. We respond with faith so that we can confidently say: I will not fear, worry, doubt, nor be afraid.
