The Lord is my light and my salvation-whom should I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life-of whom should I be afraid?
-Psalm 27:1
I don't know how many times the words fear and courage are mentioned in the Bible. But I do know this; God wants us to be looking up to Him. Our faith, our strength, our wisdom, our morality, our leadership, and our love should be from Him. Even our money is sourced through the Almighty. The world is a scary place. Bad things happen all the time. And we never know if our turn is up next. So what can we do? We can rely on God.
Remember this: God is the source of all creation. He is the first and the last, the beginning and the end. He alone is sovereign to all things. Nothing can happen outside of His purview. So, even when you're in the middle of the storm. He is there, and it is not outside of His control. And this truth, should give us confidence. The confidence to act, the confidence to lead, and if necessary, to fight.
Only He knows the future, and I know that no matter what, as long as He is in control, we're going to be alright. Nothing is too big for God. Not your problems, not mine. Not your enemies, not mine. So put your faith in God today. And go out there, and own it!
