Trusting God in Difficult Times with Tim Keller

Psalm 11 is an excellent psalm for panicky times. In it, advisors have come to King David and said, “You have to get out of town. There’s going to be a coup.” David, however, knows the worst thing he can do for his people is to flee. So he refuses to panic. And in this psalm, David explains how he’s able to avoid panic: with 1) a reason for the mind and 2) a reason for the heart.

Psalm 46 is a very famous psalm, and an eloquent psalm for times of fear and anxiety. It talks about earthly cities, which can be besieged and destroyed—and it contrasts that with the city of God, which cannot be destroyed. In this meditation, Tim Keller looks at what this means and at the benefits of heavenly citizenship.
