“TRUST in HIM!”

 

Trust in Him at ALL times, you people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a REFUGE for us.  Psalm 62:8

 

REFUGE: A place of shelter, protection, or safety

 

It is very EVIDENT that King David put his TRUST explicitly in the Almighty God, Maker of Heaven and Earth, and ALL things that have been created.  And it is EVIDENT that he encourages his readers to do the same thing.  David was a MIGHTY, POWERFUL WARRIOR, and he KNEW where his POWER and MIGHT came from.  So, it was like second nature, for him to put his TRUST in GOD. 

 

David KNEW that his SALVATION came from GOD, and he proclaimed that GOD was his ROCK, his SALVATION, and his DEFENCE, and that is why he could, without reservation, say: “I SHALL NOT BE GREATLY MOVED (shaken).  (v2) He could SILENTLY WAIT for GOD alone, because of his TRUST in HIM.  David’s EXPECTATION was from GOD ALONE, the ONLY ONE, who could bring him SALVATION and GLORY.  The ALMIGHTY GOD was TRULY, David’s ROCK of STRENGTH and his REFUGE. And David KNEW that if he would TRUST in HIM, that GOD would be his SALVATION.  So, David urges EVERYONE to TRUST in GOD at ALL times, and to POUR OUT our HEARTS to Him, because HE is OUR REFUGE, STRENGTH, DEFENSE and our SALVATION, and then we too can say: “I SHALL NOT BE GREATLY MOVED!”

 

Where do you put your TRUST?  In a LOST and DYING world, a world without HOPE, a world that cannot be a REFUGE, ROCK or DEFENSE for you?  A world that cannot provide you with SALVATION?  If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to GOD, then you have been REJECTING His GIFT of SALVATION, through His SON, Jesus Christ.  And you are DESTINED to spend ALL of ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there.  In order to be ABLE to put your TOTAL TRUST in GOD, you MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful life-style, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  And CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.   BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before GOD.  You MUST ACCEPT His Gift of SALVATION and TRUST in HIM at ALL times.  And RECEIVE an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its ETERNAL BLESSINGS.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!
