Psalm 56

Danger and difficulty will never go away until the Lord himself returns.

This is a fact that the Bible acknowledges over and over. In Psalm 56, e.g., David finds himself attacked yet again by vicious enemies:

5 All day long they injure my cause;
    all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They stir up strife, they lurk;
    they watch my steps,
    as they have waited for my life.

Who or what are your enemies today? What are you afraid of? What do you dread?

The Bible acknowledges that danger and difficulty are ever-present, but it also tells us something more important:

God is for us, and if God is for us, who can be against us?

Here’s how David puts it in Psalm 56:9:

“This I know, that God is for me.”

What if you were CERTAIN that God was with you today?

What if you were CERTAIN that God was for you?

What if you were CERTAIN that God was with his church?

THE GOOD NEWS?

HE IS.

(And anything else is a lie.)
