Psalm 27:1-4

The LORD is my light and my salvation;
whom then shall I fear? * the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom then shall I be afraid?

When evildoers came upon me to eat up my flesh, *
it was they, my foes and my adversaries, who
stumbled and fell.

Though an army should encamp against me, *
yet my heart shall not be afraid;

And though war should rise up against me, *
yet will I put my trust in him.

It has been a difficult time for everyone during the past eight months. Lives lost, jobs disappeared, and loved ones could not gather together to share laughs and love. While this pandemic is once in a 100 year event it nevertheless reflects the tribulations that men and women face when alone without the Savior and without faith.

In Psalm 27 the Psalmist speaks about God as being his light and his salvation. In his faith there is nothing and no one to fear. Pandemics, conflicts and illness are all around us but the one constant is faith in God‘s almighty power and his love and compassion toward us as individuals. All what we need is to trust in his mercy and his love for us, his people. In this time of unimaginable stress I come to God in prayer, praising his name and affirming my faith in his power and mercy.
