Daily Devotion: Psalm 56:2-4

By

Psalm 56:2-4    "Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High. (3) What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. (4) In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me."

I'm finding more and more each day that our peace of heart and mind depends greatly upon what we are focused upon.  

If I am focused on my fear, then my fear devours me. 

If I am focused on my anxieties, then anxiety devours me. 

It's the same for jealousy, anger, or any other negative emotion.

What is the answer?

We find it in verse 2, "What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee."

Trust the power of the Lord God Almighty.  His grace is sufficient for every need. Call upon His name. Cry out to Him if the need is great. Don't try to carry it by yourself. It will get the best of you.

He will indeed lift you up!

Trust Him!

It's always nice and sweet when Devotions make us feel good about ourselves. But sometimes the Word of God causes me to become uncomfortable. Today's verses bring me to that place. It would be so very easy for me to look at the contrast between what was happening to Jesus and what was happening with Peter. It would be very comfortable for me to sit here this morning and condemn Peter for standing outside by the fire while Jesus was inside being mocked, spat upon, and struck by the servants of the high priest. It would be easy for me to sit here and say, "...
