When I am afraid, O Lord Almighty, I put my trust in you. I trust in God and am not afraid; I praise him for what he has promised. What can a mere human being do to me? (GNT)
— 詩篇:五十六3-4
『懼怕、Fear』是人們在生活、生命中常會有的一種感覺。當我們面對黑暗、危險、壓力、未知,當我們感到軟弱、擔憂、挫折、無助,即使是神兒女,我們都會感到恐懼害怕。從這首詩篇我們看到,大衛並不是『永不懼怕、Never be Afraid』的大勇士,他只是在懼怕來臨時,懂得思想『神的大能、O Lord Almight』與『人的渺小、A mere humn being』,懂得學習『專心倚靠神、Put my Trust in You』並讚美『神的應許、What He has Promised』。今天當我們遇見各樣景況而感到懼怕時,我們是否也能像大衛一樣倚靠神、而除去懼怕呢⋯?
