Thought of the Day

“I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.” Psalm 34:4 (ESV)
David says here in this Psalm that he “sought the Lord”. This is not merely looking left, right, up, or down to find God; rather, David earnestly fell before the Lord in complete and faithful surrender. He trusted that the Lord had not only the ability to deliver him from the fears he experienced, but the love and desire for David to see that he had help in his hour of need. This is not to say that at every twist and turn of life we as Christians can expect to have God save us from pain and trouble, but to say that God will meet us there and see us through. Though the fear that David had is not specifically mentioned here, how many of us can relate to that emotion right now? No matter if it be fear of the pandemic, wondering about our next paycheck or whether there will be enough food for our family or money to buy needed medications, fear of the political changes and division in this country, or fear over a myriad of other diseases that affect our loved ones or ourselves. There is certainly much to fear in this broken world. However, if we, like David, turn to the Lord and sincerely trust in Him to be our all in all, we can find peace and deliverance from all our fears. What fear is most weighing on you today? Will you turn to Him and trust it in His hands?
