Few things are certain in this life. The Psalmist knew of the sure foundation when storm clouds draw close. In the 16th book of Psalm we find that although life has uncertainties, love is a certain foundation.
Living can be a scary business. It takes courage to cope and to navigate through life.
Psalm 16 is one of six psalms which have headings describing them as “miktams.” (See Psalms 56 – 60.) No one knows for sure what the word “miktam” means, but each of these psalms (especially 56 - 60) was written by David in times of extreme danger. Knowing this, we can make Psalm 16 our “miktam”– a psalm to live by when life gets scary.
When Life Gets Scary Be Sure To Turn To These Unshakable Truths:
* God is my Protector. (v. 1)
* God is my Provider. (vv. 2 - 6)
* God is my Counselor. (v. 7)
* God is my Hope. (vv. 8 - 11)
“I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.”
Psalm 16:8.
Can you claim Psalm 16 as your own? If so, then you can face life with courage regardless of how scary it gets.
Remember that God is love and perfect love cast out fear!
