In this Psalm David speaks of God’s protection against David’s enemies. David had many enemies who continually tried to destroy David. However, David placed his trust in God, and God protected David. Additionally, God enabled David not to live in fear of David’s enemies. David was aware of this additional benefit as David prayed, “Preserve my life from the dread of the enemy.” David did not worry about the dangers that surrounded him. David was at peace.

Those who believe in God and put their trust in Jesus Christ live in peace. They do not live with anxiety or fear. God protects and guides them.

On the other hand, those who do not believe in God have many anxieties and fears. They worry about many things. I believe that this was demonstrated during the Covid crisis. Those who rejected God wore masks out of fear. However, those who trusted in God wore masks to placate those who were living in fear.

Those who trusted in God were being considerate of others. However, they were not fearful of contracting Covid. Living a peaceful and worry-free life is but one of the benefits of trusting God.
