A Scripture Meditation on Psalm 27 using Lectio Divina.
Do not be afraid.
Easier said than done. Fear is a common emotion when we feel scared, concerned, or even ashamed.
In this Psalm, David was being pursued by his very real enemies who wanted to do very real hard to him. In the face of this uncertainty, David chose courageous trust when he declared that God was greater than his enemies and therefore, he would not be afraid.
David placed his confidence in the Lord. May we do the same.
Listen in to this guided meditation and allow the Holy Spirit to direct you to what he has for you.

The passages we meditated on is as follows:
Psalm 27:1-3, 13-14, NIV
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?
2 When the wicked advance against me
to devour me,
it is my enemies and my foes
who will stumble and fall.
3 Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then I will be confident.
13 I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord.
