Bible Verse of The Day – 4-19-23

Psalm 18:3 (NKJV) 3 I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.

Because David was a warrior, he continually faced threats from his enemies.

David’s enemies were natural; humans who wanted to take his life or claim his throne, robbing him of what God had blessed him with.

Many of us also face enemies. But they aren’t always human.

Spiritual enemies are huge in the sense that we can’t see them, but we feel their effects on our lives.

We can also wrestle with emotional enemies. These are also very daunting, since they attack our minds and can cause us to think, say and do things out of fear that we wouldn’t normally think, say or do.

Fear is a big enemy that we all must battle. In fact, it is probably the biggest enemy we will face throughout our lifetimes.

Fear can come in many forms and will come at us for many different reasons.

Unexpected changes in our lives can conjure up extremely fearful images in our minds that can reduce a normally strong adult to a person who can’t even get out of their own way.

How do we, as children of God, overcome fear in our lives?

Each of us is different, and each of our situations are different. But one thing that never changes is the sovereignty of our God.

He never changes (Malachi 3:6). He is the same yesterday, today and forever. His promises never fail. And He is faithful in all things.

It’s important that we hold fast to God in everything that we face; every challenge, every obstacle, every enemy.

It is in knowing Him that we also learn to trust Him. And as we face more obstacles in our lives, and we see Him work and move, our trust in Him grows.

None of us likes to face our enemies; the fears, the uncertainties, the challenges of life.

But it’s in doing so, and overcoming them in Christ, that we truly learn to trust God and lean on Him through it all.
