“Put Your Trust In God”
Saturday, December 14, 2024
Key Verse
“Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us” (Psalm 62:8)TEXT — Psalm 62:1-12
Message
The reaction of many people is predictable when adversities arise, when afflictions come, orwhen sickness strikes. They run up and down, seeking help from known and tested men and women of knowledge, wisdom and expertise. They spare no expense to obtain relief from the trouble. But many do not turn to God until all other sources have failed.
At this time, David fled from the rebellion hatched against him by his son, Absalom. Although he had fought and won many battles, he chose to flee. In doing this, he put all his trust in God to restore him to the throne. He waited for God’s intervention and salvation. God was his rock and defence; hence, he was not worried. He knew that with God, irrespective of how long the rebellion lasted, it would end badly for rebellious, dishonest and spiteful people whose goal was to overthrow him from power. He told himself to patiently trust God, who will grant his expectations.
He also urged people in similar situations to shun seeking solutions elsewhere but to “pour out your hearts (in prayer) before Him.” He knew that whatever the station of the adversary in life, lowly or highly placed, their efforts would end in vain. Therefore, it is best to trust God and not put confidence in prosperity when it comes. He said, “God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.”
When faced with challenges, praying to God is better than becoming worried and anxious. Prayer focuses the heart on God and frees you from the tension of emotional turmoil. Your trust is not in your wealth or the men of riches, power and honour in society; it is in God, who alone has the ultimate authority to change your situations in life.
Thought for the day
Like Mount Zion, those who trust God are unmovable
