"What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee." Psalm 56:3. This is the one who killed the bear and lion with his hands. He faced Goliath while an army was fearful. But, all men at one time or another know what it is to be afraid. Different events fill our hearts with fear. What we must learn to do is trust God. God wants his followers to be without fear. Fear can disrupt our relationship with him. Fear can cause us to lose sight of God's power and purpose. But, trust brings us to God. Trust makes us know that with God,we can do all things and overcome all things. Trust leans not on our understanding and will power, but commits to God who can do all things. Trust allows us to know God's peace that does indeed pass our understatnding. Trust allows us to wait on God. God wil always do what is right for us. Fear creates irrational behavior and will cause us to rush. We will make wrong decisions which will lead to wrong actions. Trust brings us to a calmness of spirit and an assurance of soul. Trust knows God who reliefs anxiety and fretfulness. Fear can make us faint. Fear can make lose sight of our goal. Trust gives us hope and ultimately, victory. When fear comes, God is there to protect and help. We encounter moments when we are threatened, but trust will give us strength and we will overcome. Fear makes for loss whereas trust always brings gain.
