Facing Fear, Standing Firm

January 27, 2021

"Then I will rejoice in the Lord; I will delight in His deliverance." Psalm 35:9

In this Psalm of David, he recognized the Lord's salvation for his life and rested in the reassurance that God would deliver him from the enemies who rejoiced at his failures and scoffed at him. I cannot relate to bearing the brunt of that kind of hatred. I would be tempted to run from opposition, but David didn't run. He chose to face his enemies with compassion and with strong determination to rely solely on God.

Each of us can learn from David as we ponder our worries and concerns. Beyond any doubt, David believed God would answer, and that is true victory against the enemy!

What enemies are pursuing you today? Have you been reluctant lately to commit an area of your life to God? Do you have faith that God will save you from life's burdens? Stop trying to fix your problems with your own strength. Have courage to lay your cares at God's feet. Take comfort in Peter's words found in I Peter 5:7, "Casting all your cares upon Him, because He cares about you."

Dear Father, Thank you for rescuing me. There is no burden or anxiety I have that is too heavy for You to carry. I rejoice knowing You will handle any fear I face today. Amen.
