Day 95  My Heart Will Not Fear

Psalm 27:3 (New International Version, ©2011)

Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me, even then I will be confident.

Did you catch the words “army” and “war?”  I don’t know about you but sometimes I feel like I am in a battle---and I don’t always feel like I am winning!!

On the days when you feel like this, you can come back to this promise:  “Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear.”

There’s a place we can go when we feel the walls closing in on us.

Proverbs 18:10 (New International Version, ©2011)

 The name of the LORD is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.

That name is “Jesus.”  In Jesus there is safety.  He is strong when we feel weak.  If we are in the family of God, then we have been declared righteous and we can run to Him.  If we have not made Jesus the Lord of our lives, we can also run to Him because His arms are wide open to us!!

On Day 94 we learned there is a “secret place” that He has carved out for us.  (Psalms 91:1)  He knew we would need it.

Maybe you’ve even laid awake at night fretting over all the things that concern you—you mind being a battlefield of conflicting thoughts.

Psalms 16: 11 says that in His presence is “fullness of joy.”  Now that is much better than torment, worry and fretting!

These blogs are designed to bring you into the presence of the Lord where that “joy” is waiting for you.  Some of you have experienced this joy through these “meetings with God.”  If you haven’t, be patient with yourself.  Keep writing in your journal, keep moving forward, and keep expecting that when you open your Bible, God will be speaking personally to you.

·         Think on the scriptures that I shared with you today.  Write a thank you note in your journal for each one.

Prayer Focus:

Spend some time talking to God about some thoughts that you have.  Ask Him for His instructions, directions and yes, even corrections.  There---you’ve spent time in the presence of God!!  Now don’t you feel better??
