The Highs And Lows Of Life
Last Saturday, fans of the University of Georgia fans gathered to celebrate the teams second straight national. Joy abounds as the highs of life were experienced.
Then in the early hours of Sunday morning Devin Willock, a redshirt sophomore offensive lineman and Chandler LeCroy, a football recruiting analyst, died in a car crash. The lows of life were experienced.
The author of Psalm 27 knows the highs and lows of life. In response the Psalmist makes a dramatic, definitive and declarative statement then answers a question about the status of his life:
“The LORD is my light and my salvation is the statement. And the Psalmist answers his question by saying whom shall I fear?”
Psalm 27 this bold, announcement about God shows that only God can get us through the highs and lows of our lives. A close look at the Psalm reveals three things God provides for us in high and low situations.
First, God gives us light – For it is the light that will guide us when through the highs and lows of life.
Second, God gives us salvation – For salvation is the gracious, undeserved gift of God that tempers us when we are high and us comfort when we are low.
Third and finally, God gives us courage – For fear is one thing that will impede our faith through the highs and lows of life. Fear will keep us from gaining greater success when we experience the highs of life., and fear will keep us paralyzed when we experience the lows of life. So, God gives us courage to get us through both.
Today and for many days to come we will morn Devin and Chandler. We will remember them in high and low points of their lives.
The highs and lows of our lives is the standard of our lives, but the constant of lives is faith in knowing that: “The LORD is my light and my salvation; and with that whom shall I fear?”
