I have no fear the Lord is my all I need

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? Psalms 27:1


David said that the Lord is his light - where there is light, no darkness can penetrate through. He is our salvation - The Lord our God is able to save us from anything that tries to harm us. The Lord is our strength of life - He keeps us alive, and He gives us strength to sustain us.

 
Knowing all of this now, who shall you be afraid of? If you know what the Lord is to you, why should anything or anyone make you afraid? When you know the Lord, truly know Him and who He is to you based on scripture and the many blessings He alone has bestowed upon you, holding on to those truths far outweighs the fear we may feel at any point in our lives. Who God is will last forever, can we say the same about momentary fear?

 
David knew who the Lord represented to him because he had a personal relationship with God and personal experiences with God. Let us draw nearer to the Lord and replace the fear etc. with the knowledge of Him. That alone is enough to banish any fear in our hearts.

God bless you and keep you. If this message has been a blessing to you, share it with a friend. Have a great day!

Sin living in me

19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. Romans 7:19-20

We fight with our flesh or our sinful nature daily. I know I do. Sometimes I may come from reading God's word, internalizing it, and feel like "Yes! I am delivered from this sinful nature!" But I turn around and do something that totally contradicts who I say I am, what I talk about, and what my goal is as a believer. There is a battle between the spirit and flesh and the mind and body.

 
Do not be discouraged if you make mistakes, do not stop striving for excellence. Paul goes on to say that God has delivered us through Jesus Christ. Let us keep our minds right as in it lies the law of God and put our bodies under subjection as there lies the law of sin.

God is love

He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 1 John 4:8

Ever wondered why some people cannot love or are unfamiliar with love? It's because they have not experienced the love of God or do not know how much God loves them. That's why knowledge of God's love is so important. It will save you from making a lot of mistakes.

 
Read the bible, learn of God's love, and then when you love even if it is not returned you will know within yourself that you know what it truly means to love.

Nothing can separate us from the love of God

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39

I hope we can appreciate the type of love God has for us. Nothing can separate us from His love -NOTHING. That is how great His love is for us, who else do you know can boast of such love? -NOBODY. 

Sometimes we have to be told we are loved and shown we are loved before we understand the magnitude of that love but God tells us repeatedly and shows us over and over. Want to understand His love, read the bible, the best love story of all time. Thank you Father for loving us so much!

Joy comes in the morning

"Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning." Psalms 30:5

This just reminds us that everything has a beginning and an end. Whatever you are going through, it may be the worst possible pain you may be experiencing but know that it too will not last forever. It has to end in Jesus' name and when it does, a new season will emerge where you are joyous.

The pain will only last for a time when darkness may be all you see but when morning comes, when the light of a new day shines upon you, joy will surely follow.
