“The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear?” (Psalm 27:1, NIV)

At my 92-year old grandmother’s wake, her pastor noted that she would often quote today’s psalm; pause for effect; then answer confidently: “Nobody!”

If we live in the light of the Lord, we need not fear those who lurk in the darkness.  Though the agents of evil may snare us, the length of our captivity is limited, and our liberation is assured. 

Whom shall we fear? “Nobody!”  – Luther
