“What time I am afraid, I will trust in Thee. In God I will praise His word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me”. (Psalm 56:3–4).
Fear is an instinctive emotion when we recognize or sense danger. Some people trust themselves to deal with fear, while others run to God. David’s confidence was in God, His promises, and His divine providence, knowing nothing would come his way unless God allowed it to happen. Do we share David’s confidence? Or when life’s fears override our trust in God, like Peter, do we focus on the threatening waves and start sinking? When that happens, we can call out to Jesus as he did: “Lord, save me” (Matt 14:30). He is nearby and ready to rescue us. We can trust God, knowing nothing happens in this life unless He grants permission. As David, we can praise God that He is faithful to His word—He is the ultimate Promise Keeper.
