Sunday, September 28

My enemies will retreat on the day that I call for help. Of this I am confident: God is on my side.—Ps. 56:9.

 

The verse above reveals a way that David conquered his fears. Even though his life was in jeopardy, he meditated on what Jehovah would yet do for him. David knew that Jehovah would rescue him at the right time. After all, Jehovah had declared that David would be the next king of Israel. (1 Sam. 16:1, 13) To David, whatever Jehovah promised was as good as fulfilled. What has Jehovah promised to do for you? We do not expect him to shield us from all problems. Still, whatever trials you may face in this system of things, Jehovah will do away with them in the coming new world. (Isa. 25:7-9) Our Creator is surely strong enough to raise the dead, to heal us, and to remove all opposers.—1 John 4:4. w24.01 6 ¶12-13

David stared at danger yet counted rescue as certain. Why? Jehovah’s promises are ironclad. Whatever trial stalks us now, He will erase it in the new world — death, pain, opposers, all gone.
