Ps 11:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
When David’s well-meaning friends saw that he was surrounded by threatening enemies, they urged him to flee. However, David’s confidence was in the Lord. He knew that God was watching over Him, and David was willing to follow the Lord.
David refused to seek peace through escape. As believers, we must be unshakably grounded in the truth that our lives are ultimately in God’s hand.
Recently there was an American pastor who took a bold public stand against all forms of immorality, including homosexuality. As a result many furious enemies rose up against him and threatened his life time and again.
But this godly pastor was not moved from his task, and he frequently commented that the man of God in the center of God’s will is invincible until God is finished with him. He recognized a wonderful truth—the protection of God would shelter him, unless it was God’s appointed time for his earthly life to end. He trusted in God’s will and power to protect him.
At one time or another, we all face unpleasant or frightening circumstances that tempt us to take the easy way out. Many non-Christians try to forget their troubles by turning to alcohol or drugs. This is never the answer; it only makes things worse.
The path to genuine and lasting peace is turning to God and trusting Him. Seek the Lord in prayer and trust Him completely. That is the only Path to Peace
Consider – Treat obstacles as stepping-stones rather than stumbling-blocks.
