Read Psalm 63
Alright I will move on from verse one. Sorry its just so rich with application. Lets check out verse 4 today and ask you a question. Who do you trust? Interestingly enough this verse is speaking to just that, trust. David writes, “I will lift up my hands in your name.” This is an old testament posture of prayer, the upheld hands pictured both the prayer being offered and the readiness to receive every good gift which comes from God. It was thus a posture of trust in God alone. I asked you earlier, “who do you trust?” Maybe I should have asked “should you trust anyone?” I will let that sink in a bit. Because I believe the answer is yes and no. Yes we should be willing to think the best of others. For instance I trust some of you to watch my children when my wife and I go on a date. However the reality is that because each of us is human we will fail. So my trust in you is really my trust in God that He will protect my kids even if you should fail while watching them. Do you see my point? The only one who we should completely trust knowing that He will never fail is God. Everyone else will fail, everyone else will let you down, everyone else has a problem and that is sin. God will not and cannot fail you or me. I say cannot because that would go against is very nature. The only limitation God has is He cannot do anything against His nature. Man I am so glad for that, wow.
Father thank you that you will never let me down. Thank you that I can trust you no matter what may come my way. Thank you that you love me and want what’s best for me.
