Psalm 56:4: "In God, whose Word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?"
This is by no means the only Scripture verse that supports this concept but I appreciate its singular boldness. If only I could be so boldly confident as the writer of this verse. I prefer to believe, though, that the writer here is asserting his conviction as a support for that belief. Its like, if I may, the writer is praying this confident assertion in expectant hope that it is, in fact, the very truth that his whole life will rest upon. This is, to be sure, a blatant imaginative speculation, but I assure you that the heart of this verse is my own heart's cry. Oh that I would cry out to God in praise and trust, and to boldly proclaim: "What can flesh do to me?"
