Simply Trusting



Read: Psalm 56

Bible in a Year: Joshua 16-18; Luke 2:1-24


Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. €”Psalm 56.3

When our were young, taking them to the doctor's office was an interesting experience. The waiting room was filled with toys they could play with and '€™s magazines I would read to them. So getting that far with them was no problem. But as soon as I picked them up to carry them into the appointment, everything changed. Suddenly the fun turned into fear as the nurse approached with the needle for the needed shot. The closer she got, the tighter they hugged my neck. They would cling to me for comfort, probably hoping for rescue, not knowing that it was for their own good.

Sometimes in this fallen world we move from times of peace and tranquility into the painful realm of trouble. At that point, the question is, €œHow will I respond?€ We can be fearful and wonder why God allowed this to happen to us, or we can trust that in the midst of this trouble He is doing something that in the end is for our best, even if it hurts. We would do well to remember the words of the psalmist who wrote, €œWhenever I am afraid, I will trust in You” Ps. 56.3.

Like my , the tougher it gets, the tighter we should hug His neck. Trust Him. His love never fails!
Come quickly, Lord, to help me. Teach me to trust You in times of trouble. Remind me of Your presence and of the fact that You hold me in Your loving arms.

Cling to your heavenly Father; He is your only hope.
