When
I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I
trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me? Psalm 56:3-4
As a Police Chaplain, I have placed these stickers on our patrol vehicles to show the world that whatever the situation is, the officer places his or her trust in God the Creator of all things. These stickers also ensure to all that see them that they may be comforted in the knowledge that the Officer has the ethics and morality of a follower of God.
In these days of unknown personal, local, and worldly events we as
followers of the cross often find ourselves not knowing how to address certain
situations. We even find certain situations impossible to comprehend. But, we must not think that the unknown
is a new thing only for our generation.
Scripture tells us in Psalm 56 that there were times
when David did not know how to respond to his feelings, as well as the world
around him. In verses one and two he complains about his enemies while seeking
mercy for him and justice on those that stood against him. In Verses five through seven King David, when in
times of trouble confided in God and found comfort is sharing his feelings and
emotions with God the Father.
Verses three and four told ancient Israel as well as us today: Beloved God's call today is to place all our trust in
God and to praise him for the wonderful things that He continues to do for us. Let us be like King David and when in doubt, seek out God for safety
as well as victory.
We know that God has already given us the victory
through His Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May our daily motto and
mantra continue to be "In God We Trust" or "In God I
Trust".
This is the day that the Lord has made.
Pastor Tim.
