Triumphant Song of Confidence

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Psalms 27:1

To whom and where else should we turn in times of stress? Surely our friends can help, especially those who are faithful followers. Surely there are well meaning associates who can provide well-intentioned advice. Surely we are blessed to have these people in our lives. The words of God and the ways of God are always more certain and truer. They are not meant solely to please the world.  They are from our heavenly source and, like well-crafted arrows, true in their flight. By turning our hopes, dreams, and desires over to God, we build a life that becomes a stronghold. A life resistant to the turmoil that can arise like a pounding storm. In this triumphant stronghold, we can have confidence and assurance that God is with us.
