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 themselves against me all around."
David wrote these words as he was engaged in the conflict with his son Absa-lom. A believer with the confidence David expresses here surely trusts in the Lord. There is no way anyone could adequately protect *himself* from "ten thousands of people." 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 all our fear of man. This is the gospel 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 Doctrine of Repent-ance"]
