There is a pretty song with a powerful message by Leanna Crawford entitled: Truth I’m Standing On. Everyone has fears, worries, anxieties and insecurities. (I think many of us are scaredy-cats at heart.) Also, we all have problems, trials, and tragedies in this life that cause these internal struggles. But there are some truths about our heavenly Father we need to cling to. God is good, God is love, God is with us, God will never forsake His children, and God always takes care of us in the darkness and troubles of life as we walk by faith. We can stand on those truths. It’s why we pray every day for God to help us. He loves to help His children even more than we love to help our own children. Read Psalm 27:1-14 and then listen to this precious, spiritual song. There is truth about God we can stand on and you can take that to the bank.
Psalm 27
The Lord is my light and my salvation;
Whom should I fear?
The Lord is the defense of my life;
Whom should I dread?
When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh,
My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell.
If an army encamps against me,
My heart will not fear;
If war arises against me,
In spite of this I am confident.
One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the Lord
And to meditate in His temple.
For on the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle;
He will hide me in the secret place of His tent;
He will lift me up on a rock.
And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me,
And I will offer sacrifices in His tent with shouts of joy;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.
Hear, Lord, when I cry with my voice,
And be gracious to me and answer me.
When You said, “Seek My face,” my heart said to You,
“I shall seek Your face, Lord.”
Do not hide Your face from me,
Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help;
Do not abandon me nor forsake me,
God of my salvation!
For my father and my mother have forsaken me,
But the Lord will take me up.
Teach me Your way, Lord,
And lead me on a level path
Because of my enemies.
Do not turn me over to the desire of my enemies,
For false witnesses have risen against me,
And the violent witness.
I certainly believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
Be strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for the Lord.
