"The lord is my light and my salvation, so why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble?"
Have you ever been so afraid that you trembled? As a child were you afraid of the dark and what might be waiting for you? Before an important event in your life do you fear that you may stumble of fall and thus fail? Are you worried right now, today, about something that you have to face and that might affect your life and your confidence? The truth for today is trying to tell you that if you have the Lord you can have NO FEAR!
In this Psalm, David has seen the light and knows where his salvation comes from. He has been assured that he is not alone in any of his struggles and no matter who or what attacks him, he has a Lord who will save him. David knows that their are evil people in the world and that his enemies will attempt to make him stumble and fall. David also knows that he has a fortress that completely protects him from danger. A fortress he can run into and hide in at any time. David has the Lord in his life and he will remain confident and he will have NO FEAR!
Has the Lord Jesus Christ become your salvation? If the Lord is with you and inside you and beside you then who do you have to fear? Your team can never be beaten and will never die. When you are yoked together with the Lord there is no load that you can not pull. Your burdens will always seem light and in the end you will have eternal perfection as His child. Jesus carries us along the path of life and shines the light ahead of us. The Lord will save you no matter what your circumstance. He is Salvation. He is Light. All the Lord's enemies fall and fail. You are now his child and a part of His army. He is your fortress that you can run into and hide. WHY SHOULD I BE AFRAID, WHY SHOULD I TREMBLE? NO FEAR!
