  • I will Trust

    He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
    Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
    I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress;
    My God, in Him I will trust."

    Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler
    And from the perilous pestilence.
    He shall cover you with His feathers,
    And under His wings you shall take refuge;
    His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
    You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
    Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
    Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
    Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.    (Psalm 91:1-6 NKJV)

    Since the beginning of the year, I have been following a Bible reading plan and this month is focused primarily on learning how to call out to the Lord and what things we bring before the Lord.  But, I think that the beginning of this Psalm is about trusting in God and putting all of our reliance upon Him.  Can you imagine how much dependence we can have upon our Heavenly Father?  How about the second paragraph in this passage?  Read it carefully and learn to trust Him wholeheartedly.  He is so worthy of trust because He will deliver us from the snare of the fowler, He will protect us with His feathers, His wings will provide refuge for our weary souls, and His truth His Word will be the weapons we use for defeating all sin and all struggles of life.  I hope that we all learn that God is worthy of our whole dependence; we need to break away from the independent spirit because it is only there that we find bondage.  In dependence upon Christ, we find peace and freedom to live our lives to the glory of God.  Put your trust in God!

    I've been doing the same thing...But I mostly just read the Bible early in the morning without following a Bible reading guide. I simply open my Bible in a random way, and whatever passage I come across, I read it, understand it, reflect it and then pray.

    I love this entry. We really do depend on the Lord for everything. We are lost without Him.
