Hear how nurturing a sense of awe and wonder will change your perspective and empower you to live with more courage.Main Points
Declarative statement: I will not fear.
Psalm 27:1-3
You can feel afraid – that’s just an emotion – and choose not to respond to that feeling, but to act instead in a way that makes a difference, that is brave.
That word when we feel afraid and, yet, we act in the confidence of God, that’s called courage.
Psalm 27:4-6
The source of David’s confidence, despite danger, war, and odds was focus and passion.
David’s intimate knowledge of God’s character flowed from his personal worship and it transformed his perspective.
Psalm 27:7-10
David prays specifically and practically.
David’s basis: 1. I want You to answer me because when You told me what to do, I was obedient in the past. | 2. Please don’t forsake me and turn me away. | 3. Lord, I want you to know that if You don’t help, no one else will either.
Psalm 27:11-12
David’s prayer was two-fold: Don’t just deliver me, but bring me into a deeper relationship with You.
Psalm 27:13-14
David was tempted to be afraid, but he declared, “I will not fear,” because the Lord was his light and deliverer.
Wait = Where is your hope? Where is your confidence?
Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is acting in spite of your fear.
