February 26, 2021 Facing Fear – Psalms 56：3-11

When someone made up some story of false accusation or slander against us, how would you handle this kind of situation. It is quite common in a political campaign or an election. This really made our life upside down and distressful. The only solution is to clarify the matters as soon as possible.

King David once experienced something similar. He faced an attack of slander by an enemy. “All day long they twist my words, all their schemes are for my ruin.” (Psalm 56:5). “Record my misery; list my tears on your scroll – are they not in your record?” (Psalm 56:8) 

But in the midst of the battle, he prayed this powerful prayer: “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise—in God I trust and am not afraid.  What can mere mortals do to me?” (Psalm 56:3-4)

David’s prayer can be a model for us today. When I am afraid—in times of fear or accusation, we turn to God. I put my trust in you—we place our battle in God’s powerful hands. What can mere mortals do to me?  Facing the situation with Him, we remember how limited the powers against us really are. If we face this kind of battle of fear today, talk to God. He’s willing to fight it with us.
