When Cornered, Trust God
When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. (Psalms 56:3 ESV)
As a young child, I had people who twisted my words and falsely accused me sometimes, leading to punishment for things I did not do. In life, we get caught in manipulations and vices of those around us. These situations can happen in our own families, places of learning, or work. We lose confidence, and fear grips us.
David found himself in many such difficult situations. During these times, David turned to God, who did not leave him. God protected him and lifted him in the eyes of his enemies, who later feared David. Today will you choose to tell God that you would trust Him when you are afraid? May the Lord deliver you from all the manipulations and the vices of those around you.
Prayer
Father, protect us from people and situations when we are cornered. Help us to run and find our refuge in You, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
About this Plan
The word psalm is derived from the Hebrew word tehillim, which means “praises," and the Greek word psallein, which means “to pluck.” Thus, Psalms is a collection of poetry sung with stringed instruments. The book records the poets' naked emotions––joy, sorrow, or anger––in the high and low seasons of their life. As John Calvin described it, reading Psalms is like looking into a mirror and seeing our own hearts.
