Psalm 56:3-4
The psalmist is under attack from others, from the craziness of the world around him and when he fears for his life he takes refuge in God.
The psalmist uses two forms of “trust in” the first indicates the action of seeking refuge and the second indicates being settled in that refuge…it’s powerful to find refuge in God and not live in fear!
It’s almost as if the psalmist is saying when I am afraid, I look to you God and seek refuge…I’m looking for a place to hide. And then I realize that you are the God whose name shines forth from my lips as a blinding light, you are the God that has protected me in the past, you are the God that never fails…so I settled in and find my refuge in you!
It know it’s a different context altogether but this is the difference between seek and find…Jesus tells us that if we seek, we will find and the psalmist here is saying something similar - those that seek refuge will find it in God.
