Waiting Here For You: An Advent Journey of Hope | Day 4
{ December 3 }
WHOM SHALL I FEAR?
Psalm 27:1–6 (NIV)
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? When the wicked
advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble
and fall. Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break
out against me, even then I will be confident. One thing I ask from the LORD,
this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of
my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple. For
in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in
the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock. Then my head will
be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his sacred tent I will
sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD.
REFLECTION
In the midst of the fray and fury, keep your eyes on Jesus.
He is fighting for you. Emmanuel is near. Though accusations fly and the enemy
assaults your thoughts, though people try to cut you down and drag your name
through the mud, though schemes are launched and temptations roar, though your
flesh fails and screams for revenge—your hope is in the One who fights for you.
You are safe in God’s love and in the power of His mighty name.
PRAYER
Father, in the middle of the storm I am setting my hope on
You. You fight for me and You are greater than all my enemies. Nothing I face
today is more powerful than You. You are the solid ground beneath my feet.
Thank You for surrounding those who surround me. Give me peace in the presence
of my enemies, knowing that You see me and defend me in Your love. Amen.
