As God promotes us, some of us may be feeling fear or intimidated about what’s next, but it is a trick of the enemy to keep us paralyzed where we are and afraid to move forward.
Let our confession be as David’s! We will seek him, praise him, and obey our way through every attack and see the goodness of God and our enemies destroyed!
Psalm 27 says, “Yahweh is my revelation-light and the source of my salvation. I fear no one! I’ll never turn back and run, for you, Yahweh, surround and protect me.
When evil ones come to destroy me, they will be the ones who turn back. My heart will not fear even if an army rises to attack. I will not be shaken, even if war is imminent.
Here’s the one thing I crave from Yahweh, the one thing I seek above all else:
I want to live with him every moment in his house, beholding the marvelous beauty of Yahweh, filled with awe, delighting in his glory and grace. I want to contemplate in his temple.
In the day of trouble, he will treasure me in his shelter, under the cover of his tent.
He will lift me high upon a rock, out of reach from all my enemies who surround me.
Triumphant now, I’ll bring him my offerings of praise, singing and shouting with ecstatic joy! Yes, I will sing praises to Yahweh!”
Yet I believe with all my heart that I will see again your goodness, Yahweh, in the land of life eternal!
Here’s what I’ve learned through it all:
Don’t give up; don’t be impatient; be entwined as one with the Lord. Be brave and courageous, and never lose hope. Yes, keep on waiting—for he will never disappoint you!”
Psalms 27:1-6, 13-14 TPT
