“The LORD is...”

Psalm 27.1

That word: “is...”, that little word with just two letters,  “is...”

“The LORD is...”  What exactly should it mean to us?

Well for me, it’s sometimes very important that I realize “The LORD is...”

Yes, the LORD was, and He always will be.  The LORD God, our Lord Jesus Christ - Eternal.  It’s one of His attributes (character/qualities).  And it’s an amazing attribute!  He has always been, and He will always be!

But sometimes… I just need to remember that “The LORD is...” right now!

When I feel I am in the dark, “The LORD is my light...” Psalm 27.1

When I am weak, “The LORD is my strength...” Psalm 27.1

When I feel hopeless and helpless, “GOD is... a very present help...” Psalm 46.1

When we feel we are fighting a losing battle, “Great is the LORD,” Psalm 48.1

When we feel we are wandering sometimes, a bit lost, without much direction, “The LORD is my shepherd.” Psalm 23.1

The LORD is...” just like Jesus said, “Before Abraham was, I am.” John 8.58  And, even when all is said and done, I can know that my Redeemer liveth (right now!) and has passed through the valley of the shadow of death and - if we have received Him as our Saviour - we can say, “this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.” Psalm 48.14

Sometimes I just need to remember...  “The LORD is...” right now!
