David recalls times of danger, when he is warned to run to safety. But he does not run. He knows where his God is. He knows what the LORD is up to. God is testing him. Even though the LORD sees David at all times, he makes it appear as if he is shutting his eyelids for a moment. The danger is real, and God is making it necessary for David to trust him. We all experience times like that – when the foundations are destroyed – and we have to trust that the building will stand anyway.
LORD, we trust in you. We will not run from you when danger comes. We will run to you.
Psalm 11
