Day 15
Psalm 56:4 Amplified Version
"By (the help of) God I will praise His Word; on God I lean,rely and confidently put my trust; I will not fear; what can man who is flesh do to me?"
Every time fear presents itself, we have a choice. The psalmist, David, knew his choice and declared that he would praise the Word and trust God. He compared God and man and realized God was greater by far. He considered that the greater one was on his side, so it was like putting a man against God when a man came against him. We must realize that God is on our side and we are on God's side.
When a man comes against us, he is coming against God. At that time we can easily answer the question, "What can man do to me?" The answer is, "Nothing!" However, we must take the responsibility of "hiding" in God. In response to fear, we must position ourselves in God so that the enemy attacks God and not us. We do that by expressing our confidence and reliance on God. He has given us dominion and authority and made Himself available to us.
David said, "I will praise His Word...." Let us praise His Word, which declares that the angels are protecting us and that God is on our side, never leaving us, faithful and true to us.
I will rehearse God's Word that reveals His divine protection for me. I will stay "in Him." He always protects me.
