Whom shall I fear?

"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?"
- Psalm 27:1

This passage appeared twice to me this day. Once during my quiet time this morning. And again when I was checking my phone later in the day. Is there something about this passage that I need to really understand?

The Lord is my light and my salvation. I have experienced the darkness. It is a dark hole that robs you of the energy to climb back out. In that hole, you are both hurt and dead at the same time. You are sad, but nothing matters at the same time. And even if you are able to climb out of the hole, on top are rickety wooden planks that, if you're not careful, will break and you'll find yourself falling back into the pit. Only the Lord was my light there. Nobody could take me out of that darkness. Not my family. Not my friends. And certainly not me. He was the light that chased away the darkness. He was salvation, the one who pulled me out of the pit. He still saves me, even now. And I have to have faith that He will continue to do so. And as my light, I have to trust that He will guide my way. He is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? But I do fear, don't I? The fact that I'm anxious, or worried, or irritated shows that I fear, doesn't it? But, Lord, whom shall I fear? Why should I fear them? My God is bigger. Open the eyes of my heart, Lord, so that I could see Your true nature. So that I would see that You are indeed bigger than my problems.

The Lord is the strength of my life. I will draw my strength from Him. For his strength is infinite. And so, of whom shall I be afraid? I shouldn't be afraid. I won't be afraid, and trust in the Lord.
