Daily Devotional: Our Father Knows Best
By Mark Waldrop

Scripture: 
Psalm 27:1 (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?”

Reflection:
In this beautiful declaration, King David reminds us of the security we have in God. He boldly proclaims that the Lord is his light, his salvation, and his stronghold. Each of these descriptions gives us a deeper understanding of how God protects and sustains us. As our light, God guides us through the darkest times. As our salvation, He rescues us from sin and danger. As our stronghold, He is our refuge and fortress, a place of safety no matter what we face.

When fear threatens to overwhelm us, we can take comfort in knowing that God is greater than any challenge or enemy we might encounter. David’s confidence in the Lord teaches us that we have no reason to live in fear when our trust is fully in God. No matter the storms or uncertainties, our Father knows best, and He is always with us, shining His light, saving us, and holding us steady.
