Confidence in Conflict
Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident. Psalm 27: 3
This verse is so powerful. No matter what happens I can have hope and confidence in the LORD. He is my refuge and provider for anything I need. Let’s personalize this Psalm as a declaration. I encourage you to read this out loud today!
The Lord is my light, he lights my way, he is my hope and salvation, he is my saviour, no matter what I need, his provision is there for me. What or Whom could I ever be afraid of, if there is always provision there for me? Even when people reject me, disagree with me, hurt me, it is them who loses. Even if everyone is against me my heart will not fear, even if a war rises us against me, yet still, I can be confident in my God. There is this one thing I will ask of you Oh Lord, one thing I will seek after all of my days – that I will dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to gaze upon his temple, to reflect on his goodness, and rest in his complete perfection. For You, Oh Lord will hide me and shelter me, when I am in trouble and lift me high upon a rock away from all those who can hurt me. I will sing praise to you and thank you with shouts of joy. You said, Seek my face and my heart says to you – Your face Lord do I seek, hide not your face from me, turn me not away from you in anger because you are my helper, my hope, my salvation. Even if my Father and my Mother forsake me, you will never forsake me Oh Lord. Teach me your ways oh LORD and lead me on a straight and secure path so that I don’t lose my footing because of the working of my enemies in my life or around me. I believe that I will look upon the goodness of the Lord. I will wait for you Oh LORD, I will be strong and let my heart take courage. I will wait for you Oh LORD.
Lord, I thank you for the power of your word that is the sword in the Spirit. You are so good, so strong and so mighty. Lord, I put my trust in you today to move on my behalf. I need you and I seek you with all my heart.
