I would say one of my faulty weaknesses is FEAR. David often spoke in Psalms about FEAR and being afraid. (In the past, I have referred to Psalms as sort of being David’s journal.) David certainly had a reason to be afraid when Saul and his huge army set out to kill him. He says… “For I have heard the slander of many: FEAR was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.” – Psalm 31:13 kjv Sometimes I’m surprised at David’s FEAR, since he courageously brought down Goliath, the giant.
