"Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. 4 In God (I will praise His word), In God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me?" Psalm 56:3-4 NKJV.
David was a mighty man of God. He had killed lions and possibly the odd bear. He had slain that massive figure of a man - Goliath, when everyone else had ran away and yet, he became fearful on many occasions. In the midst of his fears, David uttered a prayer that all of God's children would do well to remember. 'Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You....What can flesh do to me?' He compared the size of his enemies to the size of his trustworthy God. Adopting such a perspective will transform how you face negative circumstances.
That is it in a nutshell. David says, 'What can flesh to do me?' In other words, if you believe that God is your Redeemer; that He is your friend, your Saviour and your King, then nothing will be able to stop Him from rescuing you. But you must put Him in the driving seat, you must allow Him to drive the car and take you somewhere you don't particularly want to go. You must trust Him.
Because of the state of the world at this time, prices of almost everything is going up at a much faster rate than our income is. Some are fretting because they don't know how they will get through this time. But really, men and women of God should not let this fear take them over. God is in charge and this means He will help you pay that gas and electricity bill. He will give you the wherewithal to tackle the mortgage, the rent, water and whatever bill comes your way. How?
By comparing the size of your problem to the size of your trustworthy God.
We are not into Fairy Tales, we are into the Bible - The Word of God and we should remember that, Jesus can fix it, He can do whatever it takes to make sure that you - His children, are taken care of. Fairy tales tell us that we don't really have to do a thing, the prince, the king or whoever will take care of it all and we will live happy ever after. The Word of God is similar but, with a subtle difference, we have to be ready to allow God to get us into place so that He can use us to bring forth victory. He does His bit, we do ours and the most important thing is that, we place Him in charge of our lives, we obey what He tells us and we trust Him totally, without fear.
