My Heart is Confident in You

Scripture:

Psalm 57:7  "My heart is confident in you, O God; my heart is confident.  No wonder I can sing Your praises!"

Observation:

David wrote this Psalm about time when he was fleeing from king Saul and running for his life.  In the midst of being chased by a powerful king, he says, "My heart is confident in You, O God; my heart is confident".  Even in the worst situations, David still had confidence in God.  He knew God would rescue him every time.  He knew beyond any shadow of doubt, that God would come through for him.  He was a man of faith!

Application:

Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things we don't see.  Faith places confidence in God, when you don't even see how He can do anything with the situation we are in.  Belief believes...faith knows and is confident!  Faith "believes that we receive" what we are asking for.  Faith is fully confident that God will take care of us, even when our enemies are chasing us down.  Faith can sing praises when nothing seems to be going right because our trust is in the Lord who we can depend on.

Prayer:

Father, increase my faith, trust, confidence in You.  Help me to trust You more each day.  I want to be able to say with David, "My heart is confident in you".  Help me to walk by faith and not by sight.  You are God and You know best what I need.  I trust You to work every detail of my life out and to take care of my family.

Yours,
Jeff
