“This I know, that God is for me.”
Psalms 118:6 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?
Psalms 27:1-3 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?LORD will be a light to me; of whom shall I be afraid? When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall. Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident.
Psalms 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Psalms 46:11 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Psalms 56:4 In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
Psalms 146:5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God,
Micah 7:8-10 Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD will be a light to me. I will bear the indignation of the LORD because I have sinned against him, until he pleads my cause and executes judgment for me. He will bring me out to the light; I shall look upon his vindication.
Romans 8:31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Hebrews 13:6 So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?”
Darkness to light. When we experience darkness and there is no light for us to see, we are concerned about what we might walk into and what might be in front of us. Are we going to walk into a wall or off of a cliff? Life’s trials can give us the same concern, fear, and worry as being in darkness. We don’t see what is around us or ahead of us.
I thank God for His word of encouragement. “When I sit in darkness, He will be a light to me.” “He is my helper.” “He will bring me out to the light.” “God is our fortress.” “God is very present help in trouble.” “LORD will be a light to me.” “God is for me.”
