Though against me war should rise, even then I shall be trusting.—Ps. 27:3.Why is our preaching activity on the increase despite worsen- ing world conditions? Why do we give freely of our time and energy while many are experiencing eco- nomic reversals? How can we re- main courageous when many oth- ers fear the future? An inspired song of King David, recorded in Psalm 27, gives us the answers. David begins this psalm with the words: “Jehovah is my light and my salvation. Of whom shall I be in fear? Jehovah is the strong- hold of my life. Of whom shall I be in dread?” (Ps. 27:1) While fear can exert a weakening influ- ence, the feeling of dread is even more severe. But no underlying dread should agitate one who fears Jehovah. (1 Pet. 3:14) When we make Jehovah our stronghold, we “will reside in security and be undisturbed from dread of calam- ity.”—Prov. 1:33; 3:25.
