DM Scripture Reading: Numbers 10-11; Psalm 27; Mark 1
Scripture: "The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom then shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?"(Psalm 27:1)
Observation: What more is there to say about our God than David says in this verse? If anyone had reason to be afraid, King David did. Enemies all around him, continually at war, surrounded by Godless nations, jealousy within his kingdom. David didn't always make the best choices, but he knew in his heart there was no one or nothing that could defeat him. He knew the God Who was his light, his salvation, and his strength.
Application: I can't begin to identify with David, King of Israel, in terms of the fears he must have faced. My fears certainly seem small and insignificant when I read about his life. There are days, however, when I am overwhelmed with daily living for one reason or another. I am grateful for mentors such as David who remind me that this same God who delivered David again and again has saved me from sin, lights my way, and gives me strength to face every situation.
Prayer: My Father God, thank you for your faithfulness, your love, and your strength. Amen.
