Psalm 27 Gives Us Strength To Carry On

Psalm 27:1 gives us strength.

“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?”

There are times in our lives when our world comes crashing down on us; if anything can go wrong, it will. When life seems to be going in a downward spiral, you’re at the end of your rope and you can’t tie a knot to hold on – fear often takes hold of us. Fear traps us in the belief that nothing will ever improve, that we are ensnared and will never escape. When life gets us down, fear fills the void left by hope.

We fear losing our health, our wealth, our family; our friends. We fear losing the promotion or even the job. We fear growing old, but even more, we fear death.
