[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Psalm Overview]] | [[Psalm 11]] ## Title: Trust the Lord in Uncertain Times ## Scripture: (Psalm 11:1) For the music director, by David. In the Lord I have taken shelter. How can you say to me, “Flee to a mountain like a bird. (NET) ## Observation: In this song, David is talking about receiving advice from people who say he should panic, run, and watch out for the threats of his enemies. While David is not denying he has enemies and that they have evil plans, he acknowledges that God is greater than all of this. He says that he should not be afraid because God is on His Throne. Therefore, He is in control of all that happens. This does not mean that David is going around picking fights with every evil thing and hoping God will bail him out. David is saying he will not be afraid of any enemy that comes his way or any task that he has to complete because the Lord is with him. There is a difference between going out and looking for a fight and being ready if one finds you. When we truly trust the Lord, we do not have to fear the fights that come to us. We can be certain that they will come, and the Lord will be with us the whole way. Therefore, we prepare and do our best. Then, trust the Lord with the rest. ## Application: Trust God with any battle you are facing today. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for being strong enough to overshadow any enemy we face.
