Witnessing to the Truth

Psalm 31:19-24  The Message

^19-22 What a stack of blessing you have piled up
    for those who worship you,
Ready and waiting for all who run to you
    to escape an unkind world.
You hide them safely away
    from the opposition.
As you slam the door on those oily, mocking faces,
    you silence the poisonous gossip.
Blessed God!
    His love is the wonder of the world.
Trapped by a siege, I panicked.
    “Out of sight, out of mind,” I said.
But you heard me say it,
    you heard and listened.

²³ Love God, all you saints;
    God takes care of all who stay close to him,
But he pays back in full
    those arrogant enough to go it alone.

²⁴ Be brave. Be strong. Don’t give up.
    Expect God to get here soon.

 

For Reflection 

Do you have the radical trust that God will, no matter what, protect you?  Do you believe, have faith in and trust that God's love will protect you.  Do you have the trust in God that will override your compelling fear that that makes you think you can go it alone?  How much trust does it take to wait on the Lord?

Pray

that your faith is filled with radical trust.  Pray that faith, the noun morphs into trust, a verb.  Pray that you will have the courage and patience to wait on the Lord.
