00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
I'm thinking today of Psalm 27.1. It says,

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,000
The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear?

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,000
The Lord is the defense of my life. Whom shall I dread?

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,000
I love this question. This question shuts up our inner fears and doubts.

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,000
It challenges our nagging worries about every future thing.

6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:29,000
We're okay as long as God says so, despite our feelings that may be to the contrary.

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,000
We want things. We don't get the things that we want quite often,

8
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,000
but our wants are not the standard. God's will is the standard.

9
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,000
It's not like we're settling for second best. At the same time, we can be blessed.

10
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:52,000
And sad. Humans are very complex, and I can't understand the whole thing.

11
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,000
I know this. I'm okay. Even better than okay. Always.

12
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:02,000
Because I walk in the center of His will, even when that appears impossible.

13
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Let me encourage you today. Don't judge this world, this life, the things that you're facing

14
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,000
by what you're seeing with your eyes, hearing with your ears, or feeling your emotions.

15
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:19,000
But rather, walk in faith. Know that God has it. He is your salvation and your light.

16
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,000
And you have nothing to fear. You will overcome that which stands in your way

17
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:28,000
as long as you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord. That means He tells you what to do

18
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,000
when you do it, and you're a Savior, which means you paid the price for your sins

19
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:38,000
and you are forgiven by the God of Heaven, by the Trinity before you, and eternity today.
