The good news is that Jesus conquered death for us, as well - dying on the cross and rising from the dead, so that we can live forever with Him. The ultimate fear that we face on this earth is death. God will not give us more than we can bear to endure. He is faithful in the midst of every trial, every plague, and every enemy. Through His strength, we can remain strong. He will not give us more than we can handle. There is no circumstance that we go through that God isn’t aware of, and He is always with us in the midst of it. I Corinthians 10:13 says, “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.” In the midst of political wars, spiritual wars, family wars, or natural wars, we can rest knowing that the Lord is the strength of our lives. “Though war may rise against me, in this I will be confident.” (vs. It became so dangerous that David had to hide in deserts and caves and continually had to move from place to place.ĭavid was confident even in the midst of the enemies because he knew that “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?” (vs. This made Saul’s anger go through the roof, and he pursued David like a wild animal. David was appointed by God to succeed him as king. Saul knew that he had been rejected by God because of his disobedience. The issue or problem with David was that he was chosen and anointed by God to be king, and deep down in Saul’s heart, he knew it. He played beautiful music and the Spirit of God would wash over Saul so the demonic spirits that controlled him would calm down for a few minutes. All David had done was play his harp before the King. I am 100% positive that I have enemies now.ĭavid wrote Psalm 27 when King Saul was trying to chase him down and kill him. Most of these beliefs put me into a chasm where I can be misunderstood and possibly make enemies. I believe people can be free from addictions, destructive lifestyles, and past abuse. I believe the person of the Holy Spirit is real and active in the church today. Out of that tension came an increased boldness to stand up for everything I believe in, which was not just limited to pro-life policies, traditional marriage, and an immoral national debt - but my belief that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. I am sure I have always had them because of my boldness in speaking the truth about Jesus but when I started standing up for what I believe in - in the midst of the political arena, enemies started arising. I never thought much about enemies until I entered the political world fifteen years ago. In this I will be confident.” (Verses 1-3) *This is another installment in an ongoing series of blogs from the book of Psalms.
