No matter what is going on around us - to our right or to our left - we should always have steadfast trust in the LORD. The verses in Psalms 91, 95, and 108 that express the psalmist's confidence in God are the verses that have caught my attention - and most other days for that matter.
It is so interesting about the dichotomy in David's life - a man after God's own heart. No man has ever been more confident in God, yet how many times has he cried out in his soul with such great despair - sometimes FEELING like God has abandoned him. He is a great study in how we MUST be guided by God's truth - what we SHOULD know - and NOT by our feelings. Our feelings will lead us astray - as a pastor I see people following their feelings into deep destruction day after day. I also see people who don't really know God - so how could they possibly have confidence in him. Why would they do right - if it is hard - and they don't even know right - if they aren't confident in God?
Unfortunately, I am one of those who also fails to trust and obey God in every circumstance in life - moment by moment. The fix is for me to continue getting to know God's love better - not to try harder!
