Audio Version
Psalm 27:1 (KJV) – “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
Fear often comes as a shadow that tries to darken our path. It whispers uncertainty about the future, magnifies challenges, and makes us question if we are truly able to stand in the face of adversity. Many times, fear does not come in loud ways—it comes quietly, through doubt, through what-ifs, through the memory of failure. If left unchecked, it can cripple our courage and weaken our faith.
But God gives us a different posture. He declares Himself as our light, our salvation, and our strength. Light removes darkness; salvation rescues from trouble; strength enables us to stand firm in the face of adversity.
So, lift up your head today and face what is ahead with confidence knowing that the Lord is with you and if He has carried you this far, He will not fail you now. Do not let fear have the final word in your heart. Next time fear creeps in, stop for a moment, remind yourself out loud: “God’s presence is bigger than this fear and God is with me.” Then take that bold step and begin to execute the vision and idea God has placed in your heart. As you take this stand, your victory is assured, for you stand fearless with the One who fights on your behalf.
Start-up Prayer
Father, I thank You that You are my light, my salvation, and my strength. I ask that you fill my heart with boldness and make my steps steady and sure in the name of Jesus.
