Today you and I will face things that will threaten our faith, especially our faith in God’s protection. You might be worried about your marriage, the decisions your children are making, the future of your career, the economy, or even your physical safety. You might be worried about your retirement account, the increase in crime in your neighborhood, or an upcoming medical test. There are so many things that threaten our faith in God’s protection.


Main Points:

1. First, remembering God’s past protection inspires us to believe God will protect us in the present and future. Remembering what God has already done inspires confidence in God’s future faithfulness. 

2. Second, David knows the power of verbalizing his faith. He worships out loud. In Psalm 27:6 David says, “I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.” By writing down this Psalm he is declaring what he believes about God. In doing both of these things, he is encouraging his own soul in the Lord.

3. You and I can do this today. No matter what you are facing, put your faith in God and in His power to protect you. 


Today’s Scripture Verses:

Psalm 27:1-2 - “The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked came against me To eat up my flesh, My enemies and foes, They stumbled and fell. Though an army may encamp against me, My heart shall not fear; Though war may rise against me, In this I will be confident.”
