Part 4 of the "Alleluia: Believing the Risen Lord" Sermon Series

We are becoming more spiritually healthy by accepting these truths in the midst of recognizing weaknesses. Even in the darkest valley, when we are surrounded by enemies, we have a table prepared for us in the midst of them. We know that we are protected from them by our Lord. We know that when we are exhausted from what life throws at us, we are refreshed by being led along still waters. We may not believe that goodness and mercy truly follow us every day of our lives, but, in fact, they do. There may be some bad things mixed in here or there, but the majority of opportunities that come your way are good. You can brighten the day of a neighbor. You can share your story with someone who needed to be encouraged. You can show someone mercy and surprise them. Our enemies include anything that causes to doubt the goodness and sovereignty of God, but God teaches that we should not be afraid of them because God is more powerful than they.
