How you can overcome fear.

"In God I trust;  I shall not fear."

The above verse is part of Psalm 56 which David composed at the most dire moment of his life.  Saul the King was hunting David to kill him.  David and his wives, relatives, a small rag tag army were living in enemy country where they suspected he was the man who killed their hero Goliath. David had no choice but to trust God with all his heart, mind and life.

Do you know why God permits you to be fearful for your family, health, finances, job and future?  So that like David, you can turn to Him to heal your fears.  Abba Father, the loving and provident God never intended man to be independent and self-sufficient.  We are fortunate that David had his moments of crisis and fear.  Thanks to this divine providence, we have the incredible revelation in Psalm 56 on how to deal with fear. This is one of my favorite Psalms.

"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?.....
Then my enemies will turn back
when I call for help.
By this I will know that God is for me.....
In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise— in God I trust and am not afraid.
"What can man do to me?"  (Psalm 56:  3 - 4, 9 - 11).

"For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith." (1 John 5: 4).
