Psalm 27:1-6
1 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?
Let’s be honest: We all have moments when we’re afraid. Sometimes our fears have to do with our health. Other times it’s our safety and surroundings that have us afraid. Maybe we’re afraid when we wake up in the middle of the night, hearing a strange noise. Other times what wakes us has nothing to do with our surroundings, but rather the fears in our hearts and minds.
The Psalms are full of trust and assurances. Sometimes I think they were sung and prayed as statements of faith. But other times I think they are prayed and sung as reminders to ourselves for those middle-of-the-night moments. What a powerful reminder that the Lord’s light and salvation is much stronger than our fears. Remember that the next time you awake with fear. Sleep well.
Peace,
Pastor Jenn
