0:00.0	Welcome to the Daily Blade. The Word of God is described as the sword of the spirit, the primary spiritual weapon in the Christian's armor against the forces of evil. Your hosts are Joby Martin and Kyle Thompson, and they stand ready to equip men for the fight. Let's sharpen up.
0:20.3	All right, good to have you back today. We're tracking through the 31-day resilience reset all
0:24.8	week. It's a free guide I develop for guys who feel like they're just spinning their wheels.
0:29.0	You know, growth isn't a fluke. It's a discipline, and you don't drift into a life purpose.
0:33.4	You build it. So if you're done making excuses, you can get the blueprint at undaunted.
0:37.3	Life slash 31 days. So let's go ahead and get into the reading for day eight of the 31
0:42.2	Day Resilience Reset, which is Psalm 27 and Proverbs 8. And let's actually start out by reading the first
0:48.3	part of Psalm 27 and I'll be reading from the Nazby. The Lord is my light and my salvation.
0:54.0	Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the
0:56.0	defense of my life. Whom should I dread? When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh,
1:02.0	my adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell. If an army encamps against me, my heart

For on the day of trouble, he will conceal me in his tabernacle. He will hide me in a secret place of his tent, and he will lift me up on a rock.
1:29.5	And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me, and I will offer sacrifices in his
1:34.7	tent with shouts of joy. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.
1:40.6	Now, going back to verse one, the Lord is my light and my salvation.
1:46.0	Whom should I fear?
1:48.0	So David, who wrote this Psalm, is essentially saying, who am I supposed to be afraid of exactly?
1:54.2	The God of the universe is in my corner and at my defense.
1:57.9	Why would I fear some earthly power or person?
2:03.1	And the entire Psalm smacks of this confidence that David has in God to protect and provide, and we too can be confident that David is
2:08.8	not fearful of anyone outside of God because he has a correct fear of God. Now, we're not in
2:16.4	Proverbs 9 today, but most of us know Proverbs 910. The fear of the Lord
