Promises: Never Have to be Afraid

Thanks for taking the time to read these devotionals. At The Journey, we aim to help you engage in God’s Word. As we continue to consider Promises in the Psalms, we learn today that when we walk with Jesus, we never have to be afraid.

Psalm 27:1
The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?

God finds me in the darkness, the place where fear of the unknown resides, but he doesn’t leave me there. He is my personal light, revealing the sin of my heart, showing my desperate need, and illuminating the right path to take.

The Lord is my light! Whom shall I fear?

God seeks and saves those who are lost. I was wandering aimlessly through life, caught in the web of my sin. Then God rescued me. He forgave my sin, declared me, “Not guilty!” and clothed me with the righteousness of Jesus.

The Lord is my salvation! Whom shall I fear?

God surrounds me with his presence and protection. He gives me the strength to do what he has called me to do. He never leaves me nor forsakes me. He is the rock to which I cling and the refuge to which I run.

The Lord is my stronghold! Of whom shall I be afraid?

Father, you are my light! My salvation! My stronghold! You are on my side. There is no one to be afraid of and nothing to fear. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
