Anchored and Fearless

“Whom Shall I fear?”

-Psalm 27: 1

The first part of Psalm 27:1 declares that the Lord is our light and salvation. This declaration can be our souls adopted disposition and compass.  The verse that follows asks the question, “whom then shall I fear?”

Because God is our light and salvation, we have hope and  a guaranteed unshakeable safety within Him.  We can rest assured, that God, the only God, is with us, and that He is leading us if we are following His light. The Hebrew word used for Lord in verse 1 is Jehovah (Yehovah). This is the name attributed to God for His everlasting and never ending self existence and Godhood. Keep that in mind as you read the verse again…

“The Lord is my light and my salvation—
whom should I fear?”

-Psalm 27: 1

The self-existent all powerful and all knowing God of all is your light and salvation. No matter what waters you find yourself in, you have an anchor. This anchor is secure and full of safety. There is no need to panic or worry.  No storm, no illness, no calamity, no hardship, can take you out of the scope of the safety your anchor provides for you. That anchor is Jesus. This does not mean you will not feel the storm at all, it simply means you won’t sink when you are hit by the storm. You are storm proof in God.

We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain,

-Hebrews 6:19

Jesus anchors your soul. That reality gives you the courage and confidence to walk a life with Him without fear. You may be thinking to yourself, “that sounds great, but I feel like I have no anchor.”

The anchor becomes existent and deployable, once you step in faith in His light and salvation. There is no other way to safety, than faith in Christ. Take the needed steps today in faith, to secure your anchor, and drop it in faith. Faith always wins over fear.

Jesus is your anchor. Who will you fear? That is you choice. I pray your choice is faith. You can do all things in Christ, who strengthens you.
