Strength vs Fear

I'm reading in the Psalms this week and have been reminded of the strength that God has. This strength is there for me to lean on during the difficult days that I will face and that brings confidence and removes any fear.

My son's favorite verse is Psalm 27:1 - "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?"

Why should I be afraid? I am on this journey...God is directing me...God is by my side...I have no need to fear. Rather, I will take Psalm 27:13 to heart - "I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord".
