NOT AFRAID

Psalms 26:2-3 LXX (27:2-3)
When the wicked drew near against me to eat up my flesh,
Those who afflict me and are my enemies, they weakened and fell.
Though an army should array itself against me, my heart shall not be afraid;
Though war should rise up against me, in this I shall hope.
Personal Challenge
A very important aspect of life for those who are followers of Christ is that there will be times when life is really difficult. Just because we follow Him it does not mean that everything from that point on is all wine and roses. Jesus is the Son of God and His incarnate life here on earth ended with death on a cross. He destroyed the hold that death had on Him and us when He resurrected from the grave. He warned us that if the world hated Him, then it would hate us as well. That is why teachings like Christian nationalism, prosperity gospel, and dominionism are heresies. What we can know and claim, as followers of Christ, is that we do not need to be afraid of the world and its attacks on us for our Lord has conquered the world. We are residents of His eternal kingdom and nothing in, or of, this world can take that away from us. Glory be to God!
