If there is one word that describes what most people are feeling right now it is fear. As we look back over the year behind us and think of all the difficulties we faced and struggles we’ve gone through, we have hoped that the year before us would be better. But now on the eve of the new year things look bleak. In many areas the pandemic is worse than ever, hospitals are full of Covid patients, and now there’s a new strain of the virus. Besides, many folks are still unemployed, broke, sick, etc. Time has not healed our wounds, and people are afraid!
In light of all this I want to suggest that you memorize today’s text – “What time I am afraid, I will trust in Thee”. David wrote these words at a time when he was overwhelmed with fear, and he teaches us a very valuable lesson. If fear is your situation, faith is your solution.
Perhaps this is a time of great fear for you and there seems to be no help on the horizon. Your dreams have turned into nightmares and your future looks bleak. As you stand on the threshold of the new year you feel that the next step could send you over the edge to your destruction. But there is good news! David’s God is your God and He stands ready to deliver all those who trust Him. I pray you will!
I don’t know what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future, and I know He is able to take you through whatever He brings you to. But you must trust Him, and you have no reason to do otherwise. Do it today. Remember – if fear is your situation, faith is your solution! – HDS
