THOSE WHO KNOW YOU, TRUST YOU...🤲🏾

THOSE WHO KNOW YOU, TRUST YOU

Psalm 9:10 ● "And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you."

The Lord is not a disinterested engineer who wound up the world and left it to unwind on its own. He is transcendent and mindful of the cares and concerns of His people. Therefore, those who know His name put their trust in Him. They are assured that God not only knows, but cares, when they are in pain.

David notes that God is with His people not just when everything is going smoothly. He is even there when trials buffet them. In Psalm 23, David testifies that the Lord is his shepherd. He is David's shepherd when He makes him lie down in green pastures or leads him beside still waters. The Lord is also David's shepherd in the valley of the shadow of death. David fears no evil because the Lord is with him (Psalm 23). Hebrews 13:5 assures believers that the Lord will never forsake them.

But just as God is faithful to His people Israel, we too have an assurance that we, who have been bought with the precious blood of Christ, will never be abandoned nor condemned, for there is no condemnation to those that are in Christ Jesus.

Let us glory in His wonderful name and let us trust Him in all things, seek Him with our whole heart, and increasingly flee to Him as the Hope of our salvation and our Tower of refuge - for He is our Comforter, our Joy, our Light, and our Life.

Loving Father,

Thank You that in Christ I know Your name.

Your character, and Your amazing grace, which is poured out in such abundance on all who trust in the Lord Jesus as Saviour.

I pray that my heart may seek You more and more with each passing day, and I ask that You would increase in me a deeper longing to know You more, and to love You better.

In Jesus' name I pray...

AMEN 🙏🏾
