“I will not be afraid of many thousands of people
who have set themselves against me all around.”
– Psalm 3:6
King David was well aware of his danger, but he chose not to be afraid. He knew that God was his shield, his strength, and his sustainer. There is no army on earth that can win against the power of God! It was true 3000 years ago and it’s still true today. And so, even in the worst circumstances imaginable, David could trust and rest in the Lord.
God’s power hasn’t diminished. His will hasn’t grown weak. His love hasn’t grown cold. His plan isn’t in flux. If Jesus is your Savior, then you too can choose to trust and rest in the Lord. Serve Him without hesitation. Follow the promptings of His Holy Spirit even when others say that you’re being foolish. Follow Jesus and make disciples wherever He leads. Even when enemies oppose you. Even when the odds seem impossible.
Could enemies damage or end your earthly life? Certainly. But they can’t touch your eternal life and future! That is guaranteed by the blood of Jesus and the seal of the Holy Spirit on your life. Moreover, if you’re following God’s will, He remains infinitely strong and capable to make a way for His will to be done. It doesn’t matter how powerful the opposition – if God chooses, He can sweep it all out of the way to accomplish His purpose. Whether He does or doesn’t, either way, your faithful obedience brings Him glory and brings you blessings that will never end. Don’t fear! Just #FollowJesus
