After the terrorist bombing of New York’s twin towers on September 11, 2001, there still remains this truth: From New York to Indonesia, warnings and threats of terrorist attacks continue to this day. Terrorism derives its sting by exporting fear. In our country today, a paranoia of fear exists because no one feels safe.<\/p>\n
In Psalm 31, David was in the grip of surrounding threats that terrorized both his reputation and his life when he wrote:<\/p>\n
\n“Fear is on every side,” and said, They scheme to take away my life<\/strong> (Psalm 31:13).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
When everything seemed bleakest, David cried in despair:<\/p>\n
\n“I trust in You, O Lord<\/strong>” (Psalm 31:14).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
He began to find peace when he acknowledged:<\/p>\n
\n“My times are in Your hand<\/strong>” (Psalm 31:15).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
In our world, perfect safety is not possible. However, though our earthly security may be threatened, we can never lose Gods eternal and unfailing love “if” we are faithfully obedient to Him.<\/p>\n
To those who fully trust in the Lord, David wrote these hope-filled words:<\/p>\n
\n“He [The Lord] shall strengthen your heart<\/strong>” (Psalm 31:24).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
When we place circumstances and situations in His hands, we can exchange the fear of terror for peace and praise.<\/p>\n
