“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
God is bigger than any problem or any opponent you’ll ever face in life. Never forget that. Because humans are so strongly tied to our senses, the visible, obvious things that make us afraid seem massive and insurmountable. But our invisible God is infinitely bigger and stronger than all those things.
The world loves to stoke fear and anger. Draw near to God and find peace and comfort, instead! It’s not that there aren’t dangerous things in the world, but followers of Jesus don’t need to be controlled by fear of them. In Christ, we are eternally secure. God is with us and in us. He will never leave us nor forsake us.
Spend quality time with God every day and throughout the day. Read and meditate on His Word. Pray and still your soul in His presence. He is your light and salvation if Jesus is your Lord. Make Him your refuge, fortress, and stronghold, no matter what may threaten you here on earth. #FollowJesus
