Key Verse: 8 "(8) Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah"
Spurgeon Insight: "We should trust when we can see, as well as when we are utterly in the dark…You to whom His love is revealed, reveal yourselves to Him; His heart is set on you; lay bear your hearts to Him…Sheep may well lay down when such pasture is before them."
This is another Psalm of David. He wrote it during a time when people were spreading lies about him. He was tempted to defend himself, but knew he couldn't really change anything in his situation by his power. He chose to entrust himself to the LORD, and that encourages me when I face similar situations, to do the same.
I have people in my life right now that are spreading lies about me. They are saying that I have done things I haven't done. They are telling people close to me that I said things I didn't say, that are hurtful. Their lies are driving a wedge between me and people close to me whom I greatly love. It is hard to deal with! I want to take vengeance. But David has a good reminder for me here. I need to wait on the LORD and entrust my future to Him. I have done what is biblical in the situation, and I need to rest in God's care now. He is my refuge and protection, not my own devices.
So what injustice are you facing today? Who is it? What is it? Make Jesus your Refuge. He is able to handle everything. None of it has taken Him by surprise! He's going to work in all that is heavy for you right now. Trust Him! Go to Him with me in prayer. He hears!
Father, give me the strength to wait on You when I am falsely slandered. I want learn to entrust myself to Your care instead of trying to control things. I pray for those who have hurt me, that You will convict them, and restore our relationship. Do a miracle of grace in our lives.
In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
Grace and Peace
