Psalm 27:1 - God Is Our Light, Salvation and Strength.

Psalm 27:1 (NKJV) The LORD is my light and 
my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is 
the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be 
afraid?  

Psalm 27:1 (NLT) 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?  

COMMENTARY PEARL

   With God as our mighty defense, our 
Savior, and our restorer, no one can take away what 
he offers. Even when our bodies fail, his love 
never does. Even when our knees tremble and our 
hearts lurch, his peace is palpably plentiful. When 
we feel the tendrils of fear creeping into our 
consciousness, let's invite the peace of God as we breathe 
in his presence. He is here now. He is near 
always. 
   When there is no good news to be heard, 
he is still good. When there are endless rumors 
of corruption, greed, and wickedness, he is 
still merciful, kind, powerful, and true. Let's 
remind our souls of his unchanging nature, of his 
limitless power, and of his overwhelming love as often 
as our hearts need the reminder. 
   Remind yourself of God's faithful and 
loving nature whenever you are bogged down by fear 
today. [365 Days of Courage by Sara Perry of 
Broadstreet Pub] 

COMMENTARY 

   It is a fact that the Lord is my light 
and my salvation. So why should I be afraid? 
Since the Lord fears nothing, why should we fear? 
   The Scripture also declares that God is a 
"very present help in trouble" (Ps. 46:1). If we 
can't trust the all-powerful, all-knowing, 
all-loving God of the universe to help us, where can we 
turn? But we can trust Him! 
   God is able, indeed He is anxious, to 
deliver us from all sorts of trouble. He wants to 
give us strength to overcome the temptation to 
sin that separates Him from those He loves, He 
wants to give us the courage to confront our 
problems (instead of avoiding them or denying them), 
and then to find the practical wisdom and help 
we need to deal with them. 
   What do you fear today? Failure? 
Rejection? An illness or physical danger? The 
uncertainty of the future? Whatever it is, ask God to 
help you turn it over to Him, "The LORD is my 
light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?" [Hope 
for Each Day by Billy Graham]
