Psalm 27:3, KJV: Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
I may not be able to prevent the enemy from pitching his tent in my neighborhood, but I can be confident that my Father will prepare me a banqueting table in His presence. The enemy's presence in full force does not in any way diminish my supply from my Father. He knows how to break through the enemy's camp to provide for me.
The wars that rise against me will never exceed the weapon I use to resist them. What is that weapon? It is a confident heart that refuses to fear a foe that my Champion has already defeated.
What makes me so confident? The Lord is my light; He is my salvation; He is the strength of my life, so whom shall I fear? Of whom shall I be afraid? Jesus defeated satan so He would have the right to defend me. I see the enemy's camp; I am aware of the size of his forces; I recognize that his plan is to wage war against me, but he will never succeed. How can I be so sure? It is because the devil can only triumph where fear and lack of confidence and persuasion exist-and these do not exist in me, for with confidence in my Champion I have a spirit of power, of love, and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
Thank You, Father. I know (and I am not guessing) in whom I believe, and I am fully (entirely) convinced and assured that You are able to keep me from the evil that is in the world because Jesus petitioned You for this on my behalf (John 17:15).
How wonderful it is to sit and watch the enemy powerless to harm me and never have to enter into battle with him! Therefore, I choose to use the energy and effort to praise You for Your love that I will never be separated from. Amen and amen.
