“The Lord is my light and my salvation — whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life — of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1)
Read Psalm 27:1–5.
In the Mission Impossible movies, Tom Cruise is placed in situations where he is called upon to help solve and correct the ultimate power plays happening in the world. He is asked to accept the mission, but usually those asking will take no responsibility for the consequences or fallout from any situation that he may find himself in. Of course, he always accepts the mission. I enjoy watching these action-packed movies, which usually end with Tom Cruise being the hero who has saved the world in some way.
God has placed us in a world filled with pain, sin and suffering. We are told that we have been born into sin with no hope until God sent Jesus to be the ultimate Saviour of our world. God had a plan and mission for His Son, whom we prepare for during this season of Advent.
In Psalm 27, we read that King David (a strong and mighty king) does not fear, not because of his great armies, but because God is there to be his strength and light in the darkest of places and situations. With God watching over and caring for him, there is no need to fear or be afraid!
Like David, we can also place our faith and comfort in knowing that God is stronger than anything in this world or any evil in the realms. God is the light shining through the darkest of times and in the darkest of places. Light is the absence of darkness — so where God is, there is only light, and darkness and evil cannot penetrate God’s light. He is the ultimate power source that never turns off, fails or gets disconnected.
Tom Cruise always had issues with his missions, but with God and Jesus there to fight on our behalf, we have nothing to fear or be afraid of.
Live in the light of God as the ultimate power source of your life!
Prayer
Lord Jesus, you have come to Earth to be my Savior. You fight all my battles and help me in all situations. Help me to remain connected to You as my ultimate power source. Amen.
Stay encouraged!
