Psalm 56:3 & 4
3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
As Christians, I know we quote the scripture that says God has not given us the spirit of fear. I agree. This is a true statement. However there are times in life where we are fearful. Situations, circumstances, a sickness or even life itself can sometimes send a little fear in our hearts. Although we sometimes become afraid of these things we don't ever want to settle in the fear and develop a spirit of fear. Our scripture today says that when we find ourselves afraid we should trust in God. When we trust someone we can't at the same time fear that person. So, when we release the fear of the situation to God and trust Him then we release ourselves from being afraid.
Once we release and trust God then we can praise Him. We can praise Him for His Word. It is in His Word that we can find answers to every situation. Notice again that we go right back to putting our trust in God in verse 4. It is vitally important to combat fear to trust in God. We can't fear what other people can or will do to us. God is greater than any person. Remember the scripture that encourages us concerning how all things will work together for us when we meet the criteria.(loving God and being called according to His purpose) We should also be aware of putting trust in our own flesh. Our trust and confidence should be put in God Almighty!
Don't entertain fear. Trust God instead and watch how our Heavenly Father take control of the situation.
