Summary
Have you ever been genuinely amazed by something? Maybe it was a stunning sunrise or a sky filled with stars. In this program, Chip studies what it means to "behold the beauty of the Lord" and why this awareness can free you from the grip of fear. 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- David’s prayer was two-fold: Don’t just deliver me, but bring me into a deeper relationship with You.
- 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?
