Do you ever watch videos of people driving along perilous cliffside roads, or over rickety bridges, and you're holding your breath on their behalf, never sure if they are going to make it or not?
That's not the image the Psalmist gives us. The Psalmist paints a picture of someone with a glad heart, even in the midst of famine, because they have ultimate trust in God. To have this kind of joy, this deep-seated joy, is the reward of a lifetime of studying Scripture and pursuing God, because only through investing that kind of time do you gain the knowledge and confidence that God will be with you regardless of circumstances. When we live with such knowledge, then we're not afraid of what the world throws at us, because we know that we are ultimate victors through Christ our Lord.
