Today's encouragement comes from Psalm 3:6, where we read these words:
"I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people who have set them-selves against me all around."
David wrote these words as he was fleeing from Absalom. A believer with this much confidence surely trusts in the Lord. There is no way anyone could adequately protect himself from "ten thousands of peo-ple." Only God can set that kind of shield around the heart and soul of His beloved churchman.
When we trust in Christ, truly and wholeheartedly--we correspondingly lose our fear of man. This is a faith that pleases God.
[Puritan quote of the day: "It is better to go with difficulty to heaven than with ease to hell." --Thomas Watson, in the preface to "The Doc-trine of Repentance"]
