Psalm 27

“The Lord is my light and salvation; whom shall I fear?”

Is that a proclamation or a question? The truth is, it is both... and that is the brilliance of the words. It is the conversation we have with ourselves and our faith in every time of difficulty. There is a wisdom to having the conversation with yourself. There is a wisdom to the final words of the Psalm, “Wait for the Lord; be strong and let your heart take courage; yea, wait for the Lord.”

Isaiah 43:13

“I am God…there is none who can deliver from my hand.”

Singing during our service last Sunday, “No power of hell, no scheme of man, can ever pluck me from his hand,” sent chills down my spine.  God does have me in the palm of his hand.  Why do I fear?

Psalm 23

“Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil...”

Following our remembrance of the events of 9/11, we still wonder how we can live without fearing the evils of the world. The answer the psalmist gives is “for thou art with me….”  I do believe being aware and feeling the presence of God is the most powerful tool we have in conquering our fears.  Read the familiar words of this Psalm again.  Stop and contemplate each verse.  How do these words speak to you right now?

1 Corinthians 15:1-16

“Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?”

In this chapter, Paul lays out his theology on the resurrection of Jesus and the resurrection of the dead. Paul is often confusing in his writing style. He can write the longest sentences of anyone I have read. But there is much in this chapter to guide us in our devotional time. Especially these words Paul quotes from Isaiah and Hosea. What a powerful faith it is that can look every threat of death (be it physical, emotional, psychological, financial, etc.) in the face and not allow it to defeat us.
