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?

Psalm 27:1

My family and I had an exciting opportunity to visit our local renovated movie theater and game center. It was advertised as providing great entertainment with movies, games, and bowling that the whole family could enjoy. We were especially looking forward to playing laser-tag with each other.

Once we entered into the dark smoky room, my youngest daughter lost all excitement and fear took over. She was not too sure about the situation she found herself in. She held on tight to her Daddy as he reassured her that it would be fun, and that he was there to keep her safe and protect her. Once she understood the concept of the game and realized there was nothing to be afraid of, she began to ease up on her grip of her Daddy’s hand and started to enjoy the game. She trusted in her Dad knowing he was there to comfort her along the way.

David understood this same concept when he asked these questions... If God is our light and salvation then whom shall we fear?

There is not a situation out there that God cannot handle or a situation so far gone that restoration cannot take place. God promises us in Isaiah 41:13, For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.

Are you ready to ease up on your grip of a situation and let God lead you?

Dear God,

Help my faith to be greater than my fear.
