Scripture
Psalm 56:11 ...in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
Observation
In chapter 55, the psalmist was agonizing over a close friend betraying him. Now in chapter 56 he realizes that it is all about God and not man. He knows that only God can do anything against him that really matters.
Application
As I look at my life, the times that I have been truly hurt, was at the hands of a confidant. Correspondingly, I have hurt those closest to me. This lets me know that only God will be truly faithful to us. I can not put my trust in man no matter how close they are but I must continue to love and show myself friendly just as Jesus did.
Prayer
Forgive me Father for the times I have sinned against you and hurt my fellow brothers and sisters. Grant me the grace to forgive those that have hurt me. To not carry an offense. I do trust in you Lord. Amen

Yes trusting God and the challenge; keeping an open and vulnerable heart at the same time. What a challenge and how necessary!!! Kim
