Title: What Should I Do When I'm Afraid? (11 of 11)
Series: Questions For God
Author: Jim Perdue
Text: Psalm 56:1-13
-*A passenger in a taxi leaned over to ask the driver a question and gently tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention. The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up over the curb, and stopped just inches from a large plate window. For a few moments everything was silent in the cab. Then, the shaking driver said, "Are you OK? I'm so sorry, but you scared the daylights out of me..." The badly shaken passenger apologized to the driver and said "I didn't realize that a mere tap on the shoulder would startle someone so badly." The driver replied, "No, no, I'm the one who is sorry, it's entirely my fault, today is my very first day driving a cab. I've been driving a hearse for 25 years."*1

David was alone and didn't get a very good reception. The second time he went to Gath, he was accompanied by his men and was accepted. This psalm reveals that his life was in great danger, and history tells us that he had to pretend to be insane in order to escape (1 Sam. 21:10-22:1).2 READ TEXT
- *What do you fear? Do you fear failure? What if I don't make enough money? What if I let my husband or my wife or my kids down? Do you fear commitment? Some guys fear commitment, some men fear their wives! Do you ...
