Read: Psalm 62: 5-12
“Trust in Him at all times, you people… for God is our refuge.” - Psalm 62: 8
Trust can be defined as the quiet, steady, unwavering confidence in the goodness, wisdom and faithfulness of God. No matter however great trials or seeming disasters a person may encounter, if he has cultivated this trust he remains calm and restful in the midst of it all. He is beautifully pictured by David in Psalm 125:1, “Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever.” All the mountains of the earth may tremble and shake and even be totally removed, but Mount Zion which is God’s dwelling place stands firm and forever. So it is with the believer who has learned to trust God. Others all around him may give way to panic and confusion, but he remains calm and secure.
But, trust requires an initial act – and that is commitment. Psalm 37: 5 says: “Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and He will do this.” Committing a matter to the Lord is like taking cash to the bank and depositing it in our account. Once we have received the receipt for our deposit we need not be anxious about the safety of our money. That is now the bank’s responsibility and not ours. Again, one important factor is needed for making a successful commitment. When we walk out of the bank, we carry an official receipt, indicating the date and the amount of our deposit. There are no uncertainties.
In the same way, dear friends, we need to know without a shadow of doubt both what we have committed to the Lord and when the commitment was made. It may be our health, our finance, our children’s future, we should trust all of them in the hands of our Master. And let us remember that if we have the continuing attitude of trusting God, we will be able to accomplish His will in our lives. PRAYER: Lord, I commit my life to You and I trust that You always do everything perfectly well. Help me not to give way to doubt or anxiety but remain cool. Even if situations pose to be a threat, You will do what You have promised and will reward me for being steadfast in my faith. Amen.
