I Am So Glad to Know You!

Good morning! My name is Charlotte and I am writing to help us give our first thoughts to the Lord.

David says of him and God: As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me. Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud; and he shall hear my voice. He has delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me; for there were many with me. Psalms 55:16-18

He says in verse 22 Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain you: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved....and in verse 23 David declares..I WILL TRUST IN THEE.

I Peter 5:6-7 says Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time: Casting all your cares upon Him; for He cares for you.

We can end this by saying I WILL TRUST IN GOD....i WILL trust in God....I will trust in God...i will TRUST in God....i will trust in GOD. No matter which way you say it or where you put the emphasis - I WILL TRUST IN GOD.

It is always amazing to me the peace that comes when you cry unto God....when you lay it all out on the table before Him. David says in this scripture above that He has delivered my soul in peace from the battle.

Sometimes in our lives we are in a battle. Sometimes I get weary from the battle. I am at an age now that I would just as soon not do battle. Health reasons encourages me not to get involved in the battle but somehow life has a way of putting you right where you don't want to be. At times like that is when you need to just put your trust in God and allow Him to deliver my soul in peace.

Lamentations 3:22-24 It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in Him.

The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeks Him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.

It is one thing to trust in God. It is quiet another to cry out unto him morning, noon and night. It is quiet another to have our souls delivered in peace. But, ultimately, the waiting on God not only for his answer but moving is what is honorable to God.

It is like looking at the big picture and not realizing that all the time our lives are in God's mighty hand and we don't even realize it until His finger twitches and then we get the big picture.

Thank you, God, for hearing us today. Thank you for your Word that ministers to our hearts and our minds and let's us know that trusting and waiting on You is what matters. To remember, Lord, that our lives are in Your Hands and we don't have to be afraid or worried because You have it all under control. Thank you, Lord. I praise You because of Who You are. I am so glad to know you and trust in You because there is nothing too big for you to handle. I am so glad. Charlotte
