The Lord is the strength of my life

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

I tend to think too much about what other people think of me. I can also dwell too much on past events and become fearful and anxious. This verse really encouraged me yesterday. There is no one I need to fear or be afraid of. The Lord is the strength of my life. He is powerful over all mankind and is ready to protect me. He is also with me even if I do not “feel” that He is there. His Word is so comforting and rich, if I just take the time to meditate on it.

What truth has the Lord been teaching you this week?

If you do not know Jesus Christ as your own personal Savior, please consider His offer of salvation. He is the only One who truly understands us and can save us from our sins. Any good deeds or works will not guarantee entry to Heaven. Jesus Christ shed His blood to pay the price that your sin requires. Trust in His perfect work today!

For He says:

“In an acceptable time I have heard you,

And in the day of salvation I have helped you.”

Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

2 Corinthians 6:2

...that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”
Romans 10:9-11

Walking with Christ

From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?” John 6: 66-67 What does it mean to walk with Christ? I asked this question today. To walk means to move, to go from one physical place to another. Unless you are walking on a treadmill and then you literally go nowhere! To walk with someone else you have to keep up with their pace, whether they walk slower or faster than you. To walk with Christ we need to watch Him and match our stride with His. Not lagging behind, yet also not walking too far ahead of Him either. I know I tend to run ahead to the future in my thoughts and not always listen to what the Lord tells me in the His Word, the Bible. Who are some people who walked with God? Abraham is one who comes to mind. When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.” Genesis 17:1 Abraham walked so closely with God ...

Called, Chosen and Faithful

“...and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.” (Revelation 17:14b) The saints are called, chosen and faithful. It makes me think of Revelation chapter 19:11, where Christ is described as Faithful and True. Amazing to think that we will also share this attribute of being faithful to Him! We are called to follow Him and serve Him. Chosen, His Bride, who will be dressed in fine linen, robes of righteousness. (Revelation 19:8) “And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads.” Revelation 22:3-4 Such encouraging words to meditate on! One day the curse of sin will be broken, and we shall serve at the throne of God and the Lamb. We will see His beautiful face, the One whom we hid our faces from (Isaiah 53:3) We will see Him and...
