Confidence

But I call to God, and the LORD will save me. (Psalms 55)

One of the things that I love about the Psalms is that they offer us a peek into the souls of the saints who wrote them. Here, we see something that made the difference for David. Confronted with trouble he calls out to God. And he is sure not only that he will be heard but that he will be rescued. He is confident in the face of trouble because he is confident in his God. How simple. And that shows as great peace. 

We can be just as confident as David. It was a gift of God to him, and it is a gift of God for us. All we need to do is ask for it. How simple.
