Trust God with Your Heart

Psalms 62:8 (KJV)

Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us.

Three small phrases here, but they pack a punch. The first simply puts it to trust God at all times. Building on that, we CAN pour out our hearts to Him. And because we can do that God is able to take our concerns and be that comfort (refuge) that we need in a chaotic world.

My opinion is that the second phrase is what we need to focus on. We can pour out our heart to God. How many times have you poured out your heart to a person and have been betrayed? People do that, even the best of them. Go through enough betrayal and you just stop pouring out – even to God. There’s the mistake; God is not human, so His response is not human. God is not going to take advantage of what you pour out, because He already knows. He’s not going to crush you when you share your fears, doubts and angers – He’s been waiting for you to give them to Him. Lay it all out before Him – let go of it. When you really need to let it all out, even if you feel that you are griping or being whiny, go to God. He will bring you to the place you need to be.

And that is how we come to the last phrase – God Is our refuge (our comfort; our security).
