independance

psalm 3

I might think of myself as independent. I can look after myself, that sort of thing, but this psalm shows that the only reason I wake up again after being asleep is because God sustains me. Everything I do only happens because God allows me to do it. This comes in response to David thinking about how many enemies he's got. It's difficult to be scared of what your enemies might do when you get a clear picture of the fact that God sustains you in everything that you do. The only reason I'm not dead right now is because He has sustained me, so why should I fear?
