In This Will I be confident!

“Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, ... In this will I be confident.”    Ps. 27:3 

  

Lets talk about our Confidence in this hour in which we live. We have had to summon up our courage, our Faith, and our Confidence! David the Psalmist begins with “The Lord is my Light and my Salvation!” Salvation imparts Light to David, even tho’ he has never met the Christ who is the Light of the world! To be truly confident, we must dwell in His Light, it is our Salvation that dispels the darkness! This is why we are in a moment of time that we need to energize our Salvation. What a strange statement one might think. How do we energize our Salvation?  Of course we can go to the Word of God, there is strength and Confidence in His Word. We can evaluate the depth of our Worship, the time we spend in Prayer and Meditating/communing with Him ... Could it be we might need to strengthen the “Fruit of His Spirit” that resides in us? When you sincerely love someone, you think often of them, you keep in contact with them, and your concerned if they are in some kind of problem. Perhaps lethargy has attacked the Church World. The Church World seems to be experiencing a lack of energy or enthusiasm for the things of God? That could be true in our everydayness – but has it attacked our Spiritual being? Is there an Unresponsiveness to Spiritual things in this season of change and anxiety? What is God’s call to the Church and His people? Is there a lack of Spiritual activity? These questions arise as I view the changes in the Church World. Vs3 of Ps.27 stands out for David sees that God is His Light in the trials of His Life and declares “the Lord is my strength!”  It is interesting to note that Ps. 27 is a Psalm of distress, but it us filled with Confidence. Vs1 The Lord is David’s Light, Salvation, Strength, our Life, no fear and “In this will I be Confident!” Remember Phil. 1:6"Being Confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:” Loving You, Pastor
