Well, it’s been over two weeks since my last post. I don’t know if I’ve been caught up in the worldly rat race or have been trying to avoid these next set of words in verse one. I have been contemplating them for quite some time and they really bring up a well of thoughts.

At first when you just read these last five words of ‘do I put my trust’ one would initially think that David is asking himself a question of: do I really put my trust in thee O LORD? While this isn’t what David is saying it does make for a great place to start. I know that many times I fail to put my trust in the Lord or question if the things I am doing convey a trust that is genuine and real. Honestly, the first thing that comes to mind, especially during these economic downturns, one might easily convince themselves to not tithe or get emotionally wrapped up in themselves wondering what will happen when the monies run out. Looking to ourselves, or others, for emotional substance is at its core the pit of evils. While we know that ourselves and others are unable to satisfy we still look to them for reassurance—slapping God in the face and saying that our trust is not in thee!

For me, these last two weeks have been very trying. I’ve started a few new blogging gigs and convinced myself that this blog can wait—totally contradictory to what God has told me to do this year! Did I not trust God to put things in place? Obviously I trusted myself more with the management of my time.

It’s amazing. When I was in college, trying desperately to finish, my wife decided to put off college until I finished. I had over two solid years left yet we committed ourselves to the plan of completing in a year (plus a summer). I had to convince the college to let me take so many classes. Now comes the best part. Regardless of the amount of school work I had I continued my Bible studies—putting in hours what some would say was ridiculous considering my course load. Trusting in God, He got me, and my wife, though it with higher grades than I ever had before. It was as if God had said, take care of our relationship and I’ll take care of your school. It’s a lesson I often forget.

Back to David we see that David isn’t questioning God, he is affirming the fact he does trust God, he is In God, and knows Him by name. Oh! How beautiful! What peace! Lord? Let me trust in thee every minute of the day because deep down I know that You sustain me.
