Just thinking...

"In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?"- Psalm 56:4

My first thought when I saw this verse was ick yeah right. We are horrible (as in all living beings). Then I thought of sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me... and once again i said to myself ick yeah right... words are always hurtful.
But Gods words are so calming. So relaxing. One word whispered in our ears by God is worth more than a million compliments coming from friends and family...

But why does this verse say what can mortal man do to me?

The truth is God allows things to happen...

Why?

Becuase its part of this huge scheme that we will never understand or even begin to comprehend!

But if we just have faith in God and truly trust him and serve him through are trials.... how amazing will that day be when God turns to you and says... Well done good and Faithful servent...


Why fear? Does God not say in Mathew "who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life.".... Fear I believe is from the devil.... without fear we would totally trust God... and that is exactly what the devil does not want us to do....

So when it comes down to it... by removing fear we remove satan. By trusting God we allow change.

Not just any change...

A Good Change.
