He faced enemy shelling and small arms fire undecided help an artillery officer." In Psalm 11, David's conviction that his refuge was in God forced him resist the suggestions of fleeing rather than confronting his enemies (vv. 2–3). simple words included his declaration of faith: "In the Lord I am sheltered" (vers. 1).

Many times, but God is always there..... I'm sorry to say that I just didn't always look to Him first. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
