This Means War

David says, in Psalm 27:3, "Though war break out against me, even then will I be confident." Are you going through tough times? Is the storm all around you? Has "war" broken out against you? David had firsthand experience in this—armies were seeking to destroy him, his city, his family and his nation. That’s serious business! Even with all of this going on around him, David knew that God was going to protect them. He went on to say in Psalm 27:13, "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." He had total confidence that he would see God's goodness in this life, as well as beyond, and that God would indeed save them. He knew he didn’t need to be frightened, get antsy about what he needed to do in his own strength, or freeze in panic. Do you have that confidence today? Do you know Christ as your Savior? If you do, then you, too, need to have this confidence. God cares about you. He loves you. He will protect you. He will meet your needs, and you will see God's goodness in this life and beyond! The Bible says it, I believe it, and that settles it!
