My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword. …I will sing and give praise. – Psalm 57:4,7b
Maybe with a different analogy, but everyone in corporate America knows what the Psalmist means, here. We would say that “we are swimming with a bunch of sharks”.
We can not escape this fact of life, our environment is sometimes vicious. But God has an answer – it is singing.
Singing, specifically singing praise about God’s goodness and care, dispels fear and dread and brings courage.
Pick a good song or hymn and when fear invades take time to sing.
