Psalms SOAP: Have no fear

Day 46 of the Psalms in 60 Days

Today’s Reading: Psalms 110-113

(Thanks, Ruth in the Desert, for your great reading schedule!)

Scripture: Psalm 112: 7

He will have no fear of bad news;

his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.

Observation: He who trusts in the Lord will have an eternal perspective and will not fear earthly setbacks and bad news.

Application: I wish I could truly embrace this verse. I am not a total worrier, but I am a bit of a worrier.

I want everything to go well so, all too often, I worry about how I’m doing something wrong, questionable things I’ve done, and I worry about bad things happening to my family, friends and self.

My son is growing into a worrier and I try to calm him with this, when he questions me on things:

“Do you trust that God is in control?” I ask.

Of course he always says, “Yes.”

“Well, God created me to be your mom, and he gave me what I need to know to do that job, so you  have to just let me handle it and not worry, okay? Trust me,” I say.

“Okay,” he’ll say.

I continually pray that I can embrace that for myself.

God is in charge of me. I trust Him. I need to stop worrying so much and just pray, listen and follow.

Prayer: Lord, forgive my second-guessing and worrying. Please guide me to embrace this vers and make it my own.

I do not want to fear bad news, or even the idea of it. Instead I want to have a steadfast heart, continually trusting in you. Please guide me to that end.

Thank you, Lord for never letting me down. I am sorry for my fears. I do trust you.

  1. I was pondering about chapter 112 too, I can’t wait for 90 day challenge to start :) Thanks for this reminder to put our trust on Christ our Lord, even on little things. I think that’s where I struggle most…trusting Him on little things.

  2. Oh my, this is too funny. You have chosen the exact verse I have! I also had 112:8a.

    Thank you so much for sharing. I look forward to journeying through the 90 day challenge coming up!

    I have just jumped in to the Psalm challenge. I figured it would help me practice consistency before the 90 day. :)

    So easy to forget and get caught up in the earthly drama, thanks for the reminder to always look up!
