Trust and Surrender 100% and 24/7


“Trust in him at all times, you people;

    pour out your hearts to him,

    for God is our refuge.”

Psalm 62:8

 
 

The times we need to trust Him the most are the times we find it most difficult to trust Him at all.

No wonder the Psalmist encourages us to trust in Him at all times.

Not just when the bullets are whizzing past our heads but also when we are blessed and feeling invincible.

We can become secure in ourselves for a number of reasons.

Perhaps it is your youth.

You just feel like you can take on the world so who needs God.

Maybe your career offers so many rewards and such power that you begin to believe it’s all been gained by your own strength.

Maybe you were raised by parents who never acknowledged God or His existence so you proudly carry that torch for your generation.

Whatever the reasons, we can easily convince ourselves that we do not need God.

What a dangerous place to be!

For the believer it can easily be that one or two areas of our lives are held back from Him.

Maybe we trust Him with our family and our friends but not our finances.

Maybe for others their pocketbook is never an issue but their health is.

God is our refuge and He can be trusted with every part of your life.

Surrender those guarded areas to Him.

Those parts of your heart you have been reluctant to reveal.

Pour out your heart to Him and discover Him as a refuge in all of your life!
