Psalm 56:3–4 (ESV) —
3 When I am afraid,
I put my trust in you.
4 In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can flesh do to me?
NOTE: It is a simple
formula. When in fear, put your trust in God. There is nothing man can do that
can ultimately harm me, even my death. How do we practically put our trust in
God? The word and prayer would be my answer. We seek God in his word and we seek
God in prayer. It seems simple but it is the best thing. Repeating various
trite mantras such as "God is in charge" or "I have faith"
are really meaningless if we are not in the word and prayer. They are practical
lies we tell ourselves, for while they are "truths," they are not
really true to the person who will not spend time in the word and prayer. Why
the word and prayer? Because we are seeking God and God is known in
conversation. God speaks through his word to us and we speak to God through
open and honest prayer.
PRAYER: Father, the
formula is simple, but few give their lives to knowing you. I don't want to be
a part of that group.
