"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 or what was under your bed? Before important events in your life have you been afraid of what might happen? Before the proposal, before the exam, before the battle, did you tremble and were you frightened? Are you worried right now about something that you have to, or may have to face?
Is there something that might effect your life, that could occur, and your confidence is at a low point? The One Truth Today is here to help you right now! If you can answer affirmatively to these questions, then your troubles are over! Is Jesus Christ, the Lord God, the light of your life. Have you accepted the Lord into your heart and do you believe in Him for your Salvation! Do you know for a certainty that the Lord is your fortress that will always protect you from danger. Then why should I tremble, WHY SHOULD I BE AFRAID!
In this Psalm, David has seen the light and knows that his Salvation comes from the Lord. David is assured that he is not alone in any of his struggles, and even if he stumbles or falls the Lord will save him. David knows that their are evil people in the world and that his enemies will attempt to destroy him, but he knows that the Lord will Save him. David is aware that there is a strong tower or fortress that he can run into and be safe. David, just as ourselves, will be protected from danger and concludes that he does not have to tremble and even in a time of great danger he can say, WHY SHOULD I BE AFRAID? If the Lord is with you then you can say the same thing.
Has the Lord Jesus Christ become your Salvation? If you are a child of God you do not need to fear anything in this world. The Lord is inside of you, and beside you, and will be with you to protect you from all harm, even to the end of time! So if the Lord will Save you and give you New and Eternal life, why should you ever be afraid of anything and why should you ever tremble? You will never die the second death. No one and no thing can ever have control over your eternal soul and your eternal body, except the Lord God. When you are yoked together with the Lord you are an unbeatable team. There is no load or no burden that you can not pull together. If necessary the Lord will carry you. The Lord is our light, and He is our Salvation. You have the fortress of God protecting you from danger and it is impenetrable. Do you have the Lord? You can say with assurance, WHY SHOULD I TREMBLE, WHY SHOULD I BE AFRAID!
