Looking Past the Fear
(Morning Service)
Text: Psalm 3
We’re starting a new series this morning and it’s all about equipping us with language and perspective to navigate different seasons in life. We’re kicking off in Psalm 3 and exploring how David uses truths about God to combat his fear. We all know what it’s like to go through a season of facing something fearful, but we also know that God is passionate for us to “fear not.” Let’s see what God has for us in this Psalm!
“A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
O LORD, how many are my foes!
Many are rising against me;
many are saying of my soul,
“There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah
But you, O LORD, are a shield about me,
my glory, and the lifter of my head.
I cried aloud to the LORD,
and he answered me from his holy hill. Selah
I lay down and slept;
I woke again, for the LORD sustained me.
I will not be afraid of many thousands of people
who have set themselves against me all around.
Arise, O LORD!
Save me, O my God!
For you strike all my enemies on the cheek;
you break the teeth of the wicked.
Salvation belongs to the LORD;
your blessing be on your people! Selah
(Psalm 3 ESV)”
