When I am Afraid

When I am afraid, I will trust in You. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not fear. What can man do to me?
Psalms 56:3‭-‬4 HCSB

Recently I was thinking about the day David killed Goliath and wondered if he was a little afraid, He did not appear to be so as his language was all GO! Then I thought about myself. Each time I have a victory I rejoice but each new Goliath makes me a little afraid, unless the conquest is anointed and I am endowed with the Spirit of Faith. I have had both and I know which I prefer, but so many are ordinary and me slogging it out with the goliath believing I will conquer.

Here in the Psalm we see David speak of fear. He was in fear for His life as he was constantly chased by King Saul. This Psalm was, however, about being seized by the Philistines in Gath. David had killed their man Goliath, I could imagine they would not like Him for that.

God leads us to do many things in boldness, however mankind carries memory and not all is good or kindly towards us. David is a warrior and yet he still speaks of fear, as I am sure all military men and women would share. The fear gives you alertness and gives you edge.

Today I face the fear of failure and I will take it on with the sword of the Spirit and will prevail. My God has called me to do great exploits and I will, in His name. Amen!
