"Whom shall I fear?"

Hello friends and family! Blessings! I have decided that the Lord wants me to be real with all of you and I feel I should share with you exactly what He has been teaching me! Since arriving in South Africa it has honestly been difficult to have time with the Lord every single day! I am beginning to understand why it gets more difficult as time goes on to stay close to him because life starts getting in the way. Yes, I am here for missions and to spread the gospel but when you do that all day it is hard to find time to let Him speak into your own life when that is the most important thing. Every single day I feel at some point in the 24 hours Him calling me to come spend time with Him! I crave Him and know I need to talk to Him but some days it just doesn't happen! Can you relate? It annoys me so much because I know I need to seek Him there is just times when something else grabs my attention and He gets pushed off to the side! There is also a time coming when I am having to decide between two different roads and I need the Lords guidance in this like crazy! I feel a miracle coming on, this might not make sense to any of you but it is a miracle of freedom from something and I feel it coming in the next two months! I am eager and excited to see where the Lord takes me and how He is going to work in me but there is also some fear involved in this. Because I feel all of this coming and I feel fear when I am not supposed to fear I need to be seeking after the Lord like crazy! With this being said here is what I wanted to really share with all of you and hopefully it will encourage someone out there! This morning I woke up and for some reason went straight to my journal and Bible! This doesn't usually happen in the morning for me and if you are someone who reads His word in the morning props to you because I have never been able to do that! Anyways, this morning I opened my Bible to where my pen was and it was opened up to Psalm 27. I always have my pen in my Bible but never read anything where it is marked but today I did. This is what Psalm 27 says; "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? When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall. Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war may break out against me, even then will I be confident. One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in His temple. For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in His dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of His tabernacle and set me high on a rock!" through these words being spoken into me I had a feeling of fullness! I might not make sense when saying this but it was a fullness as in full of His strength and not my weakness! Such a good feeling and a very safe feeling! This Psalm gave me so much strength that I do not have but that my heavenly Father has plenty of! Are there ever times when you feel as if you are in a war zone? Well, I sure do! So often I forget the absolute truth. I forget who I belong to...who my Father is! Is there ever a time when you feel safe? My mom has always been someone that makes me feel safe. When I am sick or in pain of any kind there is something so special about your mom being there to hold you or brush your hair out of your face..this is the feeling the Lord has started to give me! He is a tender, loving, compassionate Father who only wants good things for His children...he loves me, you, because we are His daughters and sons! What beauty it is to walk into a war zone with Jesus Christ walking ahead of you fighting everything off of you so you can stand with your hands raised to the one who truly loves you!I hope this is encouraging to someone out there. These words don't give justice to the fullness of the Lords strength but I hope you are blessed!:)
