Quiet Time : Trust

By God's amazing mercy, the three Psalms I read this morning reminded me about trusting Him.

Psalm 31 (KJV)

Psalm 31:6 (KVJ)

I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.


Reminded me of...

Jonah 2:8 (KJV)

8They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.


Back to trusting God...

Psalm 31:7 (KJV)

I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;


and

Psalm 31:19-20 (KJV)

19Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!
20Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.


Psalm 32 (KJV)

Psalm 32:5-6 (KJV)

5I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.

Psalm 32:11 (KJV)

11Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.


Psalm 33 (KJV)

Psalm 33:15 (KJV)

15He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.

Psalm 33:18 (KJV)

18Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

Psalm 33:21-22

21For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.


The last two verses and 31:7 reminded me of this...

Psalm 90:14 (KJV)

O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.


I pray that I will perservere in being faithful to reading God's Word, and that He will keep revealing Himself to me through it.
