How to see this chapter:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Verse 1a-> Verse 5a<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Verse 1b-> Verse 6b<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Verse 2a-> Verse 6a<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Verse 2b-> Verse 5b<\/p>\n

With things going so bad, why did David not shake his fist at God? Because his beliefs, based on the certainty of (God\u2019s character<\/strong><\/span>), and based on the certainty of (God\u2019s promises<\/strong><\/span>), kept him anchored even while his (feelings) were all over the map.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To be unsinkable we need the anchor of (God\u2019s Word<\/strong><\/span>) not the anchor of our (feelings<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n
