Faith and Fear

David, the man after God's own heart, a man of remarkable faith, wrote, “What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee” (Psalm 56:3). His enemies oppressed him. Daily they sought his life. They were many. They were mighty. And they were united. And David was afraid. Yet, he was a true believer. He said, “What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.” I offer no excuses for David's sinful fear, nor for ours. I simply state it as a matter of fact that is undeniable. If a man says to me, “I have no fear,” I question either his sanity or his honesty.- “I will trust and not be afraid.” - Faith in Christ both vanquishes fear and causes fear.
