“Trust Calms Fear”
Saturday, July 13, 2024Key Verse
“What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.” Psalm 56:3
Text — Psalm 56:1-4
Message
Marlyne was afraid when she heard gun shots again. Most of what she hears nowadays are about shooting, rape, kidnapping, terrorists’ attack, earthquake, tornadoes and war. Some are happening very close to her and others in faraway places. Now, before she leaves the house, her mother would spend time to instruct her on what to do in case she finds herself in trouble. Beside these, she is afraid of failure at school and also of misunderstanding at home.
Fear is all over the place and no one is really free. But the Psalmist tells us how we can calm our fears. We must trust in God, Who is able to deliver us whenever we are afraid. To trust in God means to believe that in times of danger God will make a way of escape for you. Your enemies may be many, but God is able to save His
children from all evil. Pray without ceasing. Ask the Spirit of God to direct you where to go and when to do so. Believe the promises of God and trust in the Lord.
