My Soul Trusts in You~

Psalm 57:1


Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me: for my soul trusts in You: yes, in the shadow of Your wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be over.

We have all heartily amened over the fact that calamities end and that we find comfort, protection, and rest in the wing. Why is that? Because our soul trusts in Him.

(The following are all real life events that either happened to me or one of my kids.)


Remember when you were itty bitty and some punk pre-schooler bit you on the back? Or when curiosity overwhelmed you and you stuck your finger in the car lighter and charred its tip? Or maybe you snuck off
to the playground and fell off the slide and busted your mouth? Perhaps you were minding your business and a fat dog casually waddled over and bit you on your toe. What is the first thing we all did?

Run to our momma!

We trusted that she would somehow make it all better, and she always did. Why, then, do we make our refuge in the shadow of God's protective and comforting wing? Again, because our soul trusts in Him. Isn't that perfectly wonderful?

Our soul trusts in Him...

Is He trustworthy? Yes! The moment that, "He did not spare even His own Son but gave Him up for us (Romans 8:32)," He got the attention of my soul.

When you trust someone, you go to them and find comfort. You tell them everything and anything on your heart knowing they won't judge you but will help you. They will speak encouraging words to you and re-introduce joy into your weary heart. They will bind your wounds with the oil of gladness. They will fix whatever boo boo they have the ability to fix. God does all that but perfectly and more powerfully than anyone you will ever meet--including momma.

PRAYER:

Dear Lord, Our souls trust in You. Sometimes we find it challenging to trust because we have had so many disappointments, but remind us that You have never let us down. You will always always always be
there when we make the effort to take refuge in You. In Jesus' name,

AMEN~
