Ps 49:5 - Why should I fear in times of trouble?
This is a great question for which the answer is simple. We shouldn’t. The answer is such because we have a God who is greater than all our troubles, who is both sovereign over the world and yet very intimate in our troubles. He rules the world and yet knows the hairs of our head. Because he is both faithful and good, we can have confidence in times of trouble that God will use the troubles to mature us and to glorify Him.
Dt 6:13 - Fear the Lord your God, serve him only and take your oaths in his name.
Fear the Lord only and serve Him only. In hard times and trouble, we need to hold fast to him as that which is source of our fear.
