The way of the LORD is a stronghold to the upright, but destruction to evildoers.
Proverbs 10:29
We should earnestly pray the prayers of Psalms 25:4-5; 27:11 and 119:12.
“Do not think that I have come to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I have come, not to destroy, but to fulfil them.
Matthew 5:17
note and Biblical Scripture Reference on Matthew 5:17.
“The Law and the Prophets”– was a term the Jews used to mean the whole Old Testament. The Lord Jesus is saying His teaching was in harmony with the OT, that its laws, types, sacrifices, prophecies pointed to Himself. All its spiritual principles, the full measure of its righteousness is fulfilled by Him. He came to accomplish the whole will of God revealed there. He is the fulfillment of all that the law and the prophets pictured, described, foretold, and promised (of course, this does not mean that all that is in the prophets was fulfilled at His first coming).
With Jesus now on the scene, the Old Testament is a more glorious book with its profound meaning brought to light; without HIM it would be unfulfilled and void of much of its meaning. Read Luke 24:27, 44; John 1:45; 5:39, 46; Acts 3:24-26; 13:27 and 1 Peter 1:10-11. The whole book of Hebrews shows some of the ways in which the Lord Jesus fulfilled the old testament.
“I have come…to fulfil them”– this is one of many reasons why Jesus came from heaven to earth. Read also Matthew 9:13; 10:35; 20:28; Luke 19:10 and John 6:38; 9:39; 10:10-11;12:46.
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, my enemies and my foes, came against me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
Psalms 27:1-2.
Note and Biblical Scripture Reference on Psalms 27:1.
It was a time of danger and slander (read vers 12). David needed light so as to know what to do, and protection from enemies. He never dreamed he could make a light for himself out of the kindling of his own imagination, or ever thought his salvation was in his own strength or goodness. He always acknowledged God as the source of everything good. On “light” read Psalms 18:28. On “fear” Read Psalms 23:4.
Note and Biblical Scripture Reference on Psalms
27:2. Read Romans 8:37 and Ephesians 6:10-11. Believers now should have the same confidence (Faith) in God against spiritual foes as David had against human foes…
When asked whom do we trust, there is only one name, the almighty, sovereign reigning name of our “LORD JESUS CHRIST”. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Ephesians 6:12).
JESUS is our Strong Deliverer, Redeemer, our Rock, Our Shield, our Hiding Place, our Fortress. Halleluyah Halleluyah, Halleluyah, all honor praise and glory to our victorious, majestic, sovereign, righteous, fulfilling reigning King of Kings; our LORD JESUS CHRIST who will fulfills this world with His marvelous righteous Word and truth fulfilling Holy Spirit…
Much LoVe, JoY, Peace and Blessings through JESUS CHRIST our almighty dear caring Saviour and Redeemer in who we faithfully abide, trust, believe, and abundantly do receive throughout His marvelous righteous Word and truth fulfilling Holy Spirit ✝️🔥👑🙏
💫 Emmanuel 💫
