“Though a mighty army surrounds me, my heart will not be afraid. Even if I am attacked, I will remain confident.” Psalm 27:3 NLT
Breakfast had gone pretty smoothly, and I was nursing the warm dregs of coffee left in the mug when all of a sudden Famous started some of the loudest and sharpest barking I had heard in a while. My guess, and I was correct, was the arrival of the garbage man in our back yard. Our trash bins rest at the side of the deck, and Famous had a close view of the entire process until the intruder vanished behind our neighbors’ yard. No doubt the worker heard Famous and said his own prayer of thanks that he was behind a closed glass door!
Famous was warning me of a stranger, but it reminded me of how we should give our fears to God who promises to give us peace and rest. Fear leads us to worry, hate, and revenge. This is a worldly response when we lose sight of the One who gives us life and who promises salvation to our souls.
I pray for all confidence in the Lord to see me through the day without fear.
