Psalm 34:4-5 I sought the Lord and He answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked to Him and became radiant...
The Angels came to the Shepherds in the dark of night. Then the Wise Men could only travel in the dark to enable them to see the light of the star. So be encouraged, when all appears to be dark around us that is when God's Light will shine the brightest in our lives.
It shouldn't really surprise us when the enemy tries to get our eyes off the Lord and on to 'the darkness of the circumstances'. King David knew all about that strategy but he also knew how to overcome it. He says 'I sought the Lord...'
Can I encourage you to read the whole of Psalm 34 today, it is so good and helpful and brings balance into our chaotic world. It teaches us to start with praise and magnifying the Lord, encourages us to seek His face and to know He answers us. It reminds us He delivers us from all our fears, saves us from all our troubles, that we have an Angel of the Lord camped around us! Please read it for yourselves.😊
Notice he says he sought the Lord, not other people's opinions, not the internet, not his friends. He knew there was only One person with the answers he needed and that is the Lord Himself.
When we listen to the TV it's so easy for our spirit to be disturbed, to feel like the darkness is growing and for fear to come knocking at the door. When that happens there is only one solution for us too - Seek the Lord! Magnify Him and remember He is far bigger than any circumstance. Read His Word to receive His reassurance that He is our Shield, our Deliverer, our Provider and as we remember especially this time of year OUR WONDERFUL SAVIOUR.
HE IS EMMANUEL - GOD WITH US!
So what is there to be afraid of? Absolutely nothing when we're trusting Him. He says over and over again to us DON'T BE AFRAID so let Him bring His balance into your world. It is His great love for us that drives out all fear. Receive His Love today.
Have a very blessed and peaceful Christmas everyone from my home to yours.😊
