Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who when faced with fear respond, “What can man do to me?” In Jesus’ name, amen.
Believers have the potential to be bold. Why are so many so timid?
In Psalm 56:10-13, the psalmist’s fears are under control because of his trust in God. He says that he will render thank offerings:
“In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can man do to me?
I must perform my vows to you, O God;
I will render thank offerings to you.
For you have delivered my soul from death,
yes, my feet from falling,
that I may walk before God
in the light of life.”
Think about David’s relationship with God. David credits God with delivering his soul from death. Do you see God has having done the same for you in that he provides eternal life for all those who believe? Consider John 3:16. Is it time for you to become more bold in praising God and sharing the Good News with others? Will you let God handle your fears? Trust him.
