I praise God for what he has promised. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me? – Psalm 56:4 (NLT)
Fear is real. A lot of the time, it has a loud voice in our lives. It influences the decisions we make, the amount of sleep we get at night, and many other things.
Today's Bible verse gives us some insight into fear.
In today's verse, we see that the Psalmist writes that he trusts in God, so why should he be afraid? That level of trust in God is amazing. The fact that he placed greater trust in God than in what he might have been facing really challenges me.
See it doesn't matter what you're facing. What matters is that you have trust in your God. Regardless of how bad it might look, regardless of how things might seem, when you place your trust fully in God, you have nothing to fear.
That's good news. If you struggle with trusting God, a good way to build that trust is to read about the things He's done for others in the Bible. Reading the stories of how God helped Abraham and the children of Israel through some really difficult seasons can help you build your faith in a God who is always working on behalf of His children.
