“When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. “ (Psalm 56:3)
The Psalmist doesn’t say, “If am afraid,” but rather “When I am afraid,” because all of us have to deal with fear- all kinds of fear. Notice that David doesn’t hide his fear; he doesn’t cover it up, as some Christians do, thinking that’s what God wants to hear from us. No, the Psalmist says, “When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.”
Faith is hardly needed when everything is working out. Of course, we need to trust Him all the time, more so when God bids me to trust Him, when I’m in trouble: when my heart is broken… when I am confused and I feel like a failure… when my child is being attacked by the enemy and I am fighting for my child’s welfare… when I am tempted… when I am down… when I am laid off from my job…
Right now, you may be in a tough situation and you don’t know what to do. If so, you can say with the Psalmist, “When I am afraid, I will put my trust in You.” Thank God that He is there for us in all the situations of life!
"Don't eavesdrop on others -- you may hear your servant curse you. For you know how often you yourself have cursed others."
Ecclesiastes 7:21
Opened my Bible to a random page and just started reading. God really did not need to call me out like that. 😭😭

This passage is from Revelation 19:11 in the Bible and is part of the descriptions of the end - time scenes in the Book of Revelation. It has rich symbolic meanings in Christian interpretations:
The imagery of heaven opening: "I saw heaven standing open" symbolizes that the barrier between the realm of God and the human world is broken. God's plan and judgment are about to be revealed, which foreshadows the direct manifestation of God's will and represents God's intervention in the historical process of humanity.
The white horse and its rider: "a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True". In the symbolic system of the Bible, a white horse often represents victory, authority, and glory. The rider, referred to as "Faithful and True", is generally considered to be Jesus Christ, reflecting His attributes, that is, He is always faithful to God's promises and His essence is genuine and without falsehood.
Judgment and warfare: "With justice he judges and wages war" indicates that this rider judges based on justice, meaning that God's judgment is based on absolute fairness and justice. Meanwhile, "wages war" symbolizes the confrontation with evil forces, representing the ultimate victory of good over evil, and reflecting God's handling of sin and the maintenance of justice.
Different religious scholars, clergy, and believers may have different emphases in their understandings based on their respective research and insights.
