Silencing Our Fears

Psalm 34:10

The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.

We can find great comfort in the Psalms as we discover David’s prayers that he used to silence his fears.  Through his faith David often looked to the Lord in prayer.  He was wonderfully revived and comforted time after time.

Let us follow the good model shown to us by David.  Let us not turn to the world where we will find that we will be left at a loss in times of trouble.  Let us not trust in ourselves, thinking that our own efforts will be sufficient.  For if we do, we will suffer want and hunger just like the young lions.

Let us seek God’s provision in all things.  Let us look at His promises instead of focusing on our problems.  Let us be persistent in our prayers until we receive what we cannot see now but hope for with the same faith as David.

Let us be positive and let God develop our potential.  If we do, we will do more than we can imagine.  What we do will be bigger than we ever thought possible.  And we will do it surrounded by people filled with God’s love.

Be assured that God owns everything.  If we seek Him, we can expect the fullness of His provisions in our lives.  He does expect a little from us.  He expects us to put Him first in our finances, first in our interests, first in our relationships, first in our schedule and even first in our troubles.  If we do these things, we will lack no good thing.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we thank You for providing us with every good thing that we need.  We praise the name of Jesus who has provided us with our greatest need – to be washed clean by His shed blood.  We pray, Lord, that Your Holy Spirit will teach us how to taste and see Your goodness as we learn to put our total trust in You.  May Your grace be sufficient to transform us from living lives in the flesh to living lives in the spirit.  We ask all these things in the name of the One who brings salvation to all people, Jesus Christ.
