“What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.”Psalm 56:3 (KJV)
What Psalm 56:3 means
What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. Notice that fear and trust exist in the same breath: David does not wait until the fear is gone to trust, he trusts precisely when afraid. Courage is not the absence of fear but the redirection of it, handing the fear over to God the moment it rises.
