”What Can Man Do to Me?” PSALM 56 by Kevin Campbell

When we come across “what can man do to me” in our Bible reading, it sounds a little flippant doesn’t it? Men and women do an awful lot of terrible things to other men and women. There is plenty to fear in this fallen world. But this phrase came from David while people were actively chasing him with the intent to kill him. How can he say such a thing? Stop running for a second and you will see what man can do to you!

One of the wonderful things about the Psalms is how honest they are about the struggles of life. In Psalm 56 we’ll see the hero David, of “David and Goliath” fame, admitting he’s afraid of very real and present danger. But we’ll also see how David doesn’t rely on his ingenuity, strength, or past successes to alleviate his fear, instead he runs to the God who has rescued him time and time again.

Join us Sunday to learn from David how to deal with the fears in your own life, even if you aren’t being actively chased by people trying to kill you.  

In Christ,
